Varo!
I really like de Hooch, but I think Varo is incredible. Varooooooooooo!
Varo, with a nod to De Hooch.
I agree with the other comments that they are both good, but I like Varo better.
I've grown to like Varo's work quite a lot, but for me it resonates less deeply than the luminous marvels of the everyday in De Hooch.
Ditto
Varo here too - though as pretty much everyone has said, De Hooch is pretty amazing as well.
I hadn't heard of Varo before this tournament, but I quickly became a fan. Varo!
Varo gets a postal vote.
de Hooch for me, what with the luminous marvels.
Varo, as I prefer the fantastic to the everyday, at least today.
And it's the fantastic prevailing over the luminous marvels of the everyday, 8 to 3! Varo proceeds to an interesting Round Four Matchup; de Hooch flips over to await the verdict in Hobbema v. Hicks.
