This is one of the first cases of "comments on the IAT have significantly shifted how I feel about an artist". Géricault.

Magritte can certainly be accused of not being as deep as he first seems. But there is just something his aesthetic and tongue-in-cheek surrealism I adore. Magritte.
Hmmm. Well, I hemmed and hawed a bit, but I'll go with Magritte.
Susan votes for Gericault.
I'm hemming and hawing too, but I'm sympathetic to boonec1974 here and will go for Magritte.
Mmm. Magritte.
Well, that makes it seven votes for Magritte, and three for Gericault. Magritte will take on Lotto next week in Third Round Elimination!
