ReplyDeleteOh jeez, I would say Rodchenko, but I'm still pissed about him beating Rodin. So Orpen. Also I really love that portrait.
ReplyDeleteThis is kind of a tough one. Rodchenko.
ReplyDeleteI like Orpen, but gotta go with Rodchenko, who gets extra points for versatility, though as a painter he's no Goncharova.

ReplyDeleteSusan says "Rodchenko"
ReplyDeleteRodchenko!
ReplyDeleteHmm. Orpen?
ReplyDeleteOrpen's not my favorite, but I do find some interest there.
ReplyDeleteA real see-saw battle there, but Orpen ends up on top of it by a single vote! Thanks for voting.
