    This is a tough one, but I'm going to go for the bizarre-o 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?

    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!

    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.
