  1. The Dix works are creepy. I'm going with Denis.

  3. Though there's something unnervingly attractive about Dix, I'm going to go Denis.
    Each time I look at that first picture I could swear that at first glance those rocks are a drowned cardinal. That's got to be worth something.

  6. Oh, not that it matters, but I think that Denis for Denis vote was me (an accident this time).

  7. Well my friends, it's a tough run for the acerbic social criticism of Otto Dix, and the colorful mysticism of Maurice Denis coasts to its first solid win with a score of 11-2. But how will Denis do against Brancusi in the next round? Let's vote on it!
