Degas.
This is hard. Love Daumier's prints. Oh well. Degas.
I think I'll go with Daumier
Daumier's grown on me a bit, but definitely Degas.
Both?
If I had to swing one way, after some deliberation, I would go Degas. Since I have to swing one way, Degas.
I've always been a sucker for Degas.
Degas. Some years back I was blown away seeing some of his pastels at the Met in NYC. It'll take a lot for me to vote for someone else.
Degas
Yeah, I think Degas gets a walk here.
Degas pour moi.
Daumier
With a 9-2 sweep, Degas glides easily into the semi-finals. Daumier will just have to see what he can do over yonder in the Left Bracket.
