Hammershoi, definitely. I like that these works are foggy and precise at the same time.

Gimme some of that Hammershoi

Hamilton is fun and all, and "Just what is it that makes today's homes so different, so appealing?" is famous and all, but I rather like the somber tones of Hammershoi.

I'll take Hammershoi!

My fastest flip flop yet. There's something so likable and fun about Hamilton that I'd like to see him advance a few rounds. But those Hammershoi pictures, and their haunting beauty, they really stick with you.

Hammershoi. I like Hamilton's collage (if that's what it is) but the flowers are boring. Both Hammershois are cool. I love mist.

A vote-by-mail for Hammershoi.

I'm personally going to go for Hammershoi and the foggy-and-precise-at-the-same-time ticket.

Not knowing anything about the artists sometimes means you can have a delightful surprise, which is how I feel about Hammershoi.

After a 2-2 start promised a tight match, Hamilton suffered setbacks on the way to a 1-10 defeat. He'll try to stay alive in the Left Bracket, while Hammershoi moves to the right.
