Gontcharova. I am really enjoying the study in blue and green.

While I enjoy Gorky, his works strike me as rather... scribbly... whereas I enjoy Gontcharova's style of abstract very much. Her top painting is great too! I like the boots.

Gontcharova.

I like both of these for the COLOR COLOR COLOR, but I'm thinking I'll break for Gorky.

Gontcharova, slightly.

Gorky. If you're going with all that color, you need less structure (IMHO).

And it's Gontcharova in a landslide, 10-3. She advances to a tough one in Round Two!
