Houdon. I didn't find the two representative works particularly impressive but am glad I did a search because then I found these:

Hopper. The colors on those pix aren't accurate, though.
I love the stories Hopper's pictures tell. And I think your pictures are just fine. Oh, wait a second. You don't have Hopper's Nighthawks? What's with this algorithm?
C.M.: Well, they never are, of course. A bit of fussing leads me to conclude that I don't have an easy means of improvement that won't mess up the resolution. If you can find better color-balanced images, I'll use 'em.
Hopper.
Hopper!
Hopper is great. The original voyeur.
Edward Hopper
Oh, Hopper, definitely.
Oh, Hopper.
Vote-by-mail for Hopper!
You know what? I'm going to flip back my vote! Not all the way to Houdin, but to an official abstaining. Those are some pretty nifty busts.
Houdon, not that it's going to save him.
Hopper crushes despite my defection, losing the first and last vote but taking in everything in between. He'll march on to Round Two next week.
Thanks for voting!
