  2. While I enjoy Gorky, his works strike me as rather... scribbly... whereas I enjoy Gontcharova's style of abstract very much. Her top painting is great too! I like the boots.

    Gontcharova.

  6. I like both of these for the COLOR COLOR COLOR, but I'm thinking I'll break for Gorky.

  7. Gorky. If you're going with all that color, you need less structure (IMHO).
