This has been an odd week for me, as I've looked at the pictures many times and keep thinking "None of these are among my favorites, but I like them all quite well." It's been hard to vote! But I am going to go with Fantin-Latour for his deployment of color, and Chase perhaps for those little scraps that have fallen by the carpet and not been picked up. And Mondrian because I just like Mondrian. I also like Ensor, but it's easy to make too much of Ensor. I won't vote for him this time.
