ReplyDeleteKlimt. I like de la Tour, but Klimt is just so unmistakably Klimt.
ReplyDeleteLa Tour isn't in Klimt's league.
ReplyDeleteyay a semifinal that isn't hard! Klimt.
ReplyDeleteDespite seeing one too many dorm room posters of Klimt, I'm gonna vote for him.
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking that I understand Klimt but feel de la Tour, so I'm going for the latter. I just don't feel Klimt.
ReplyDeleteSusan votes by mail for Klimt.
ReplyDeleteDe la Tour for me.
