Very close, but I'll swing Gontcharova.

I think Gontcharova is the bee's knees.

Gontcharova. Still loving the green and blue shards.

I like the bicyclist painting by Gontcharova, but I don't particularly care for the other two of hers posted here. Therefore, Van Goyen gets my vote, 'cause all of those posted are pretty cool.

Here's an emailed vote for van Goyen, also expressing hope for Gontcharova to win. Hmm...

Good news for ambivalent van Goyen voters, as Gontcharova takes the match with a total of 7 votes to 4. She'll move on bravely against the appalling odds of the Left Bracket!
