my first vote is Mucha. I like the color and emotion. I also love the realism. its interesting because the two paintings are so similar and different at the same time. my second vote is orphan. both paintings make you wonder what they got there insperation from. I also love the expression on the guys face in the second painting. my third vote id hooch. I love the colors and how they use shadows and light. the architecture is amazing and the do a great job setting the seen. my last vote is holder. I love the bright colors and I like there art style.

Then there's:

Köpek konuşmuyor. Portland'da sessizdir. Bu üzücü. Ama Sezen Aksu'nun dediği gibi ağlamak güzeldir. Seçerıyorum.

Scorel güzeldir
Rodchenko iyidir (güzel değil)
Orpen çok güzeldir
De Hooch çok güzel, çok guzeldir (Eartha Kitt'in dediği gibi)

Teşekkürler ederim.
