I'm gonna go first! So, the most interesting new painting here is Gertler's, which is a nice antidote to his most famous one, which I hate. I can't find much I like in between those two extremes, though, so no vote for him.
Tell the truth, Chase is so much of a standout for me in this pool that I'm going to just use one vote: Chase.
Allston, Gertler, Chase, Kalf, Daubigny. Wait, that's too many. Strike Allston, I guess.
I'm not feeling it for any of these, honestly. Like, I wouldn't mind checking some of them out in a museum, but I wouldn't go out of my way for them, either. But not voting at all seems a bit too apathetic, so... Allston, I guess.
Yeah, that new Gertler saved him from a negative vote- barely. I'll go with Luini, Kalf, Daubigny, and (step it up you art ingrates!) Warhol.
Chase, Daubigny, Kalf, and Allston
Allston, Chase, Kalf, and Daubigny
Susan says: Gertler, Chase, Kalf & Daubigny.
Chase, Allston, and what looks like a goodbye vote for Luini.
