  1. Even if the first artist may or may not have some hot lesbian action going on with two redheads, I still have to side with artist number two. I've always liked a few of those paintings.

  2. Wyeth, who is certainly on my stamps.

  3. Wyeth for me and "definitely Wyeth" for Nora.

  4. Lord Leighton's comeback starts too late, so it's all Wyeth in this one -- he takes the victory 11 votes to 1, and moves on to an interesting contest with Michelangelo! We'll eventually see Leighton again in the Left Brackets.
