Hals
Guston lands for me in the category of "really like but not on my wall." I'll choose him.

Hals!
Yea, Hals.
I'm going to give the nod to the second guy.
Guston
After some thought, Guston. I don't really know what I'm looking at, in a good way, I think(?)
Frans Hals. Skulls and trees.
Definitely Hals.
Call me a traditionalist--Hals.
Hals all the way to the semis, in my book. One of my very favorite painters, especially in live action. The humanity! In a good way!
Vote-by-mail for Hals.
Deck the Hals with boughs of laurel.
Hals eventually pulls ahead for good, and ends with a healthy 10-3 margin. He'll be on to Round 2 next week.
Thanks for voting!
