  1. I like both artists far too much for this early in the bracket. I'll vote for Patenier.

  3. I'll take the first guy, and not just because his name looks like Joakim Noah.

  4. I feel similarly to Morgan, but will break for Picabia.

  5. I like Picabia's machines, but his work seems, well, underbaked in general. Patenier's landscapes, I really like. OK, he's no Bruegel, but maybe he paved the way for him in some ways.

  6. I pretty much completely missed Patenier in Round One, and he's really growing on me. But I'm liking Pacabia too.

    Um... Patenier.

  7. Looks like it's Patenier on top when the luminous dust settles, nine votes to six!
