ReplyDeleteRivera, but boy it's close for me. I think Rivera #4 is my favorite painting of the ones shown.
ReplyDeleteThis one was close, but I think I'll go Rivera just because he had something to say politically.
ReplyDeleteRivera by a mile for me. Much more important subject matter, much more vibrant and engaging. Those landscapes are pretty yawn-inducing.

ReplyDeleteI'll join the crowd for Rivera. Nice knowing you, Sisley!
ReplyDeleteSusan votes for Sisley.

ReplyDeleteSisley.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite by far of all these is Rivera's still life and windowscape. So I'll vote for him, though I Iike Sisley's pretty landscapes also.
ReplyDeleteOh hey, I never voted here but Sisley of course.
ReplyDeleteAnd, huh, OK, looks like Rivera wins this one nine votes to three. That's cool. He'll move on against Signac as soon as I can take care of the paperwork, which at this point in the Tournament kind of takes a while. But today, anyway.
