Orpen
Oh jeez, I would say Rodchenko, but I'm still pissed about him beating Rodin. So Orpen. Also I really love that portrait.
This is kind of a tough one. Rodchenko.
I like Orpen, but gotta go with Rodchenko, who gets extra points for versatility, though as a painter he's no Goncharova.
Orpen
Susan says "Rodchenko"
Rodchenko!
Hmm. Orpen?
Orpen's not my favorite, but I do find some interest there.
A real see-saw battle there, but Orpen ends up on top of it by a single vote! Thanks for voting.
