    I adore the finch, but I am enjoying Feininger's perspective this morning. Sorry, Fabritius - you got my vote last time, but not today.

    The Fabritius is lovely, but I have a real thing for Feininger. Spent quite a few happy hours this winter with a big fat Feininger book from the library, after ogling little paintings at the LACMA.

    Abstract overlapping polygons? Abstract overlapping polygons. Feininger.

    I'll buck the trend and say Fabritius. Maybe I am cubismed out.

    Vote by email: "Fabritius' finch trumped Fantin-Latour's flowers for me, but I'm sticking with my early enthousiasm for Feininger in this round."

    Usually I am anti Cubism, just because for some reason it's boring to me, but today it just never stops raining, and I think Feininger's colors and angles are nice, so I will vote for him.

    Tough call. I'm going to go with Feininger, I think.

    If I were to vote for a cubist, it might be Feininger, but I'm not going to--or not yet, at least--so it's a vote for Fabritius.

    Feininger squeaks by! And Fabritius is off to the left bracket. It was a 7-5 nailbiter -- your vote counted!
