I'll vote for Victor "Discount Varo" Brauner, van Goyen, Ensor, and Daubigny.
OK, Brauner, Ensor, and Mondrian.
Brauner, Mondrian, Chase.
OK, Ensor and Mondrian... and then, geez, I've been off Daubigney for a while but then the arcane rules of image selection give us a lovely new picture that, well, I'll throw in for him one more time. And a vote against Brauner.
And Susan says "van Goyen, Boudin, Chase & Daubigny." Susan, as some of you know, lives on the isle of Manhattan -- keep staying safe and keep keeping well, Susan!.
Same as Susan
The Susan ticket
Want to vote for all of the bottom 5. I like having Mondrian around for diversity, but do I actually like him better than, say, Boudin/Daubigny/Chase... Yeah, too many impressionists/proto-impressionists. I'll go Mondrian, Chase, Daubigny, and Ensor.
