The Dix works are creepy. I'm going with Denis.

I'm mourning Derain, voting for Denis.

Though there's something unnervingly attractive about Dix, I'm going to go Denis.
Each time I look at that first picture I could swear that at first glance those rocks are a drowned cardinal. That's got to be worth something.

By email: "An anti vote for Denis -- I just hate Dix a lot."

Oh, not that it matters, but I think that Denis for Denis vote was me (an accident this time).

Well my friends, it's a tough run for the acerbic social criticism of Otto Dix, and the colorful mysticism of Maurice Denis coasts to its first solid win with a score of 11-2. But how will Denis do against Brancusi in the next round? Let's vote on it!
