  2. People always complain that two artists are too different to compare, but these two are too similar, I find. Uhhhh, Boccioni

  3. Boccioni by a frosty, ice-skating mile.

  5. By the end of November 2012, Boccioni was leading this contest 8-0. In May 2013, another vote brought him up to 9-0. Two weeks ago, one last vote prevented the painful shutout -- her vote counts! -- but it's still a bit of a romp for the Italian Futurist, who takes down Bomberg 9-1.
