Jacques-Louis David.
Hockney. Tied again, so far!
Hockney's work is interesting, but I'm going to vote for
Jacques-Louis David.
You can do it David! On to the 3rd round! You will prevail!
Man, this is a tough one. The top Hockney beats all of David's, but all of David's beat any of the rest of the Hockneys.
I think I'll go for David for consistent goodness and a general feeling that he deserves to win at least one more round.
I've always liked Hockney without knowing who he was. But he's no David, to whom my vote goeth.
Hockney
Owie. I do enjoy Hockney. But I remember stopping dead in front of some lesser portrait by David that was just entrancingly good. That, and the Death of Marat, give it to David.
David is so... Classical. Hockney is so... hit and miss. I guess I'll say Hockney.
Here's a emailed vote for David.
David.
Hockney is stark and wonderful, but David, that boy can paint. David.
Hockney
As Chuckdaddy said, "You can do it David! On to the 3rd round! You will prevail!" Finally a result for the French Neoclassicist, with a decisive 9-4 total to boot. GORGEOUS NAKED BUTT!
