    The oh-so-fleeting pieces by Amador get my permanent vote (for this round).

    I like Amador's medium, but I like Kupka's art better.

    What an interesting pairing! This is the first matchup in a while where I actually have to stop and think, and look up other pieces. Hang on a minute ...

    Okay, Kupka. Amador is pretty (and pretty amazing sometimes) but looking at Kupka's work as a whole is more interesting to me.

    Did I forget to do a Google search for Kupka before? He's pretty good and I especially like his new image and some of his more representational works. Sorry beachcomber, Kupka gets my vote this round.

    Amador's come-back streak falls short, and the match goes to Kupka, seven votes to six!
