I like the first Diebenkorn a lot but not the other two so much, but I'm rather taken with all three of the Delvaux offerings. So I will vote Delvaux, since I find myself in train stations more often than on the highway.
You will have probably changed the title of the post before you read this, but just in case ...
Ooh, good call, E. Thanks.
It's so hard to choose!
But Diebenkorn.

Diebenkorn!
I can't explain why I like the first Diebenkorn so much. So although Delvaux is pretty darn good, I'll vote Diebenkorn.
I love all 3 Diebenkorns. He's going to be getting my vote for a long time.
Diebenkorn, definitely.
Diebenkorn
Delvaux reminds me too much of de Chirico (who I love and am sad is out of the tournament, I think). So out of spite I will vote for Diebenkorn. ...no, actually I really do like Diebenkorn.
Delvaux reminds me of Ensor, but... I dunno. And I'm not a massive Diebenkorn fan, but there's something mappy and diagramatic going on there that I kind of like.
Diebenkorn.
Pfly: De Chirico still has some life left in him. He'll make his Left Bracket debut the week after next.
Definitely Diebenkorn.
Delvaux
By Email: "I love both Delvaux & Diebenkorn -- so different, both so delightful. Can't cast a vote in this one."
Delvaux has a mermaid in moonlight and a lady desperately hailing a skeleton (warning a better-dressed lady?) and girl walking away from us down a lonely street (alley? sidewalk?) at night.
After looking at Diebenkorn for a few minutes, I realized that my forehead was aching from frowning--mostly at his lines, I think. (And I seriously don't understand what's up with the roads in that first one.)
Moonlit madness wins.
It's definitely Diebenkorn, with Portland, Oregon's favorite son trouncing moonlit madness 9-3 and making it untouched into the Third Round. Delvaux will have to take his chances with the winner of Dine/Brancusi sometime later in the year.
