I like Hunt's work.

Dufy, though I do like the second, "No, dear, I really do have to pee!" picture from Hunt.

I like the jolie laide and the infinite mirrors in the first work, the playful piano porn in the second, and the completely unrealistic view of what shepherds do all day in the third, so I'm voting for Hunt.

Alison says Dufy!

I find I kind of like Hunt. I'm glad to see he branched out beyond the leering suitor genre. Dufy has always seemed scribbly and lightweight; most of his paintings are working so hard to charm that they end up making me crabby instead. There, I said it. (peruse peruse) OK I quite like some of his early work, but I'll still go with Hunt.

I don't think of either of these guys as particularly heavy hitters, but Hunt's new picture convinces me he's got real chops. I'll go with him.
