I just read about Cozens in a book by Simon Schama, Landscape and Memory. He gets my vote.

Rebel said...

ooohhh.. Cragg!

Elizabeth said...

I am going for Cozens' crags.

Morgan said...

I was going to go for Cragg until I saw the little people in the Cozens paintings and that put it over the line in favor of Cozens.

I am also a sucker for trees in paintings.

After some additional googling, I'll say Cragg.

Cragg by a nose.

Hmm, we've had so many superstars that it's almost refreshing to get off the A-list. Cozens isn't particularly exciting my interest here, and Cragg makes some interesting shapes. I'll go with the living guy!

Close, but I think I'll come down on the Cozens side.

A vote-by-mail for Cozens, with the note that "Cozens painted crags, but Cragg didn't paint cousins." I confess I sniggered.

Cragg, who has a kind of Nevelson thing going on that I like.

Cozens
"Oh, wow, there *are* little people!"

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a 7-7 tie! Cousins and Cragg are the fifth First-Round tie, and will therefore return in 2014 to take on fresh blood from the Play-In Subtournament.
