Feininger, but expecting to be on the losing side.
Emphatic vote for Feininger here. Mrs Owl is a serious fan.

I'm a huge fan of Feininger, but in this pairing I find I've gotta go with the nuanced, three-dimensional theater of Gentileschi.
Gentileschi.
Mariah's got an FB vote for Feininger.
Gentileschi!
Susan says: "Gentileschi -- These contests are getting harder. Feininger was part of my youth -- I had a print of his in my first NYC studio apartment in l960 -- so I hate not to vote for him"
I feel kinda bad that I'm not really on the same Feininger page as some of y'all, but even if I was, I'd still be a Gentileschi man here.
Let's count some votes! It looks like Feininger is wi -- NO! WAIT! PLEASE PUT DOWN THAT SWORD, MS. GENILESCHI!! I WAS GOING TO SAY, GENTILESCHI WINS, NINE VOTES TO FIVE! YES MA'AM! THANK YOU MA'AM!!
