Phase One Rules:
- You may cast votes for up to four artists.
- One vote per artist per person.
- Since play-in artists were nominated by your peers in the IAT community, including myself, courteous and affirmative voting is in order
- Which is to say, no baggin' on the aesthetic sensibilities of the nominators.
- Full rules, procedures, and anticipated timeline for the Play-In SubTournament are available on the Play-In SubTournament page, if I've gotten around to updating it with the recent revelations.
Phase 1, Flight 1 closes Sunday, September 23.
Phase 1, Flight 2 will be open for voting for... oh, another month and change.
Flight 3 will be open for approximately two months.

Pieter Saenredam!
Remedios Varo
and
Geertgen tot Sint Jans!
I guess I'm allying myself with the past, here. But not the most distant past! I think no one else captures the sense of a large interior space quite like Saenredam.

Well, very much Geertgen tot Sint Jans. And... Ryden. And I guess I'll go with Saenredam and Varo, just for the heck of it.

Yay, Remedios Varo! Big vote there.
The artists of the Chauvet Cave, and a happy nod towards whoever made this nomination.
Geertgen tot Sint Jans, definitely,
and Saenredam.
A vote-by-mail for the Chauvet Cave artists. In regard to Candida's happy nod, ~I~ made that nomination, and I made it here.
Sint James? Really, people? His stuff looks like SO much that's already in the Tournament. Seems almost redundant... Please give me Ryden, Royo, Varo & Grey.
That second Royo selection is really unfortunate. Not his best work AT ALL. I think others are much nicer, deeper, more mature and better executed, like this:

MR. X IS BACK!!! And grouchy about an artist who painted perhaps my favorite single image of all time! But that's democratic art appreciation for ya.
Welcome back, Voron -- you've been missed!
And, voting is closed in this round! Advancing to Phase 2: Remedios Varo (who will be the top seeded play-in artist to date), Geertgen tot Sint Jans (Yay!), and Pieter Saenredam -- the straight Mrs.5000 ticket!
