    Diebenkorn, a San Francisco bay area resident who helped set a modern regional style. Always loved his work!

    Derain. In Spain. It's plain.

    I like Derain! Though perhaps his more Fauvistic ones more than these two. Yay Fauvism!

    I really love Diebenkorn, enough so that my heart leapt a bit just to see his name in orange at the top of the post.

    Although "a San Francisco bay area resident," I can not help mentioning that Mr. Diebenkorn was -- exclusively among tournament artists, I expect -- born here in the IAT's own City of Roses. Like many a San Franciscan, he was presumably Itching To Get Away From Portland, Oregon.

    Derain … simply for the color choices in the first piece.

    Diebenkorn, says Alison's heart, and so the man from the City of Roses takes the contest by a two-vote swing, 8-6.

    Voting is closed in this round.
