  1. Schiele. Speaking of which I recommend the record by the band Rachel's called Music for Egon Shiele. It's on youtube but if you like it you I think you should support the artists or a record store and buy it.

  2. This one's personal for me. I love Schiele, always have. My dad loved Schiele. Just look at those models' eyes boring into you.

  3. Severini has impressive range, and I love the 3rd one. But against the maestro of creepy awkward naked people? It's gotta go to Schiele.

  5. OK, Schiele. But really for his cityscapes.

  6. Severini, because color is cheerful and Schiele is kind of vaguely unpleasant.

  7. Susan plays tiebreaker, foiling Severini's late running and putting the Austrian into the next round with a sixth vote, against five. Another thrilling finish in the Infinite Art Tournament!
