Oh jeez, I would say Rodchenko, but I'm still pissed about him beating Rodin. So Orpen. Also I really love that portrait.

This is kind of a tough one. Rodchenko.

I like Orpen, but gotta go with Rodchenko, who gets extra points for versatility, though as a painter he's no Goncharova.

Orpen's not my favorite, but I do find some interest there.

A real see-saw battle there, but Orpen ends up on top of it by a single vote! Thanks for voting.
