I recommend a Wikipedia read for Spencer. I was really surprised by the twists and turns his life and art took. He gets my vote over Soutine, who's just kind of gross- right?
Yeah, I was figuring I'd vote for Soutine based on these images--I don't like the creepy cutesy business--but a little Googling, and Spencer totally won me over.
Soutine can't hold on to his early lead, and ends up losing 1-10. Spencer will head on to the Second Round, and Soutine will hope for the best in elimination!

All of these make me terribly uncomfortable, in a good, "artsy" way. Soutine.

Like Mrs., I'm not usually a creepy cutesy fan, but these I kind of like. He's kind of the European Botero! Spencer.

Susan voted for Spencer a while back, but I've been lazy.
Spencer, but without, admittedly, giving it much thought.
