Let's see. Corot, Derain, and Utrillo for sure, and then any of the rest I like enough to give them the fourth spot. I'll vote for none of the rest.

I can get behind Van Eyck and... I guess that's about it this week.

Corot and Utrillo

I'm sure Van Eyck will continue on, and I get it. Great colors! Interesting details!! Fake-pregnant dresses!!! But I just can't get over the fact that so many of his people look like aliens. I'll do my last two for votes for the creepily interesting Shad and the growing-on-me Long.
