I've been looking forward to voting for Schwitters (even if it is the first Saturday of an odd-numbered month).

Yeah, Schongauer seems nice enough, but I've already got a thing for Schwitters.

Schwitters, who did more than collages. Also, the Nazis branded his art "degenerate" and he had to flee from the Gestapo to Norway. Extra points there.

It's hard not to like Schwitters here, although I can understand why Schongauer might feel pretty pissed off about it.

Nora: The first one too.

Schongauer.

The late burst of enthusiasm for Schongauer can't dig him out of his deep hole, and Schwitters takes it easily, with seven against three.
