I vote twelve thousand times for Turner! Still have never seen a reproduction of any of his paintings that can do justice to the originals.

I'm sure I would like the Twomblys a lot if I could see them in an art gallery. The environment tends to make me see stuff that's questionably art as art. But this isn't an art gallery, and I'm voting Turner.

I always want to like Twombly just because of sentimental associations with the name (which is used as the name of a town in a favorite book of mine), but wow, no. Turner, please.

Turner lays a 14-1 beating on Twombly, and will advance to take on Toulouse-Latrec in Round 2.
