Varo, barely.
This is a tough one, but I'm going to go for the bizarre-o Varo.
Love Varo!
Arrggh! I hate this matchup.
Hokusai, because. Just because.
Varo
This is a tough choice, but the delicacy of Varo makes him my favourite, despite the perfect lines of Hokusai. Luckily we still have Hiroshige, right?
Varo
Hmmm. I like Remedios Varo. She's grown on me. Can I vote for her quirky little vignettes over the far more influential and wide-ranging mastery of Hokusai?
I find I can.
Remedios Varo strikes me as very "McMenamins," for those of you from the City of Roses. I like that. Varo it is!
Hokusai. The colors.

Here's a vote-by mail for Hokusai
Varo
Nichim, in what seems to be the first ever instance of someone responding to the "Polls Close Soon" reminder, puts the cap on Varo's landslide. It's 10-4 against Hokusai.
