Ooh...tough one, but screw it, I'm giving it to Siberechts.

I don't like the new painting, but I'm still going to vote Severini.

Hmmm, I guess it's Severini for me.

Siberechts is good, and he has a nice cow, but Severini seems very playful and interesting in a way that seems like it might have translated nicely to mid-century childrens book illustrations.

The Siberechts late wave comes just a tiny bit short, and it's Gino Severini who prevails, with six votes against five. He'll move on to the elimination round!
