The Infinite Art Tournament Left Bracket Second-Round Elimination: Avercamp v. Baldung!


Leaving us this week with records of 1-2 are two twentieth century Europeans: Balthus (18 cumulative votes for, 19 against) and Francis Bacon (17-19).  Bacon beat today's first contestant in Round One, but lost to our second contestant in Left Bracket Round Two.  Does that mean that Baldung will trump Avercamp?  Let's vote!


Hendrick Avercamp
1585-1634
Dutch





Hans Baldung
c. 1484 - 1545
German

    The codpiece and all the frowny faces swing my vote towards Baldung here.

    I like both, but I think I will swing to Avercamp.

    Baldung! For some reason I really have it out for Avercamp.

    I can't day I like either of them much, but I think I'll go with Baldung.

    This tournament has made me a big fan of Avercamp, master of the ice-skating crowd scene

    Hmmm...the Avercamps are pretty, but I'm going with Baldung.

    Shifting artistic tastes have caused me to moderately dislike Baldung. I voted for him over Balla in the first round - something I probably wouldn't do now. That said, I really enjoy Avercamp, so he gets my vote.

    Oh no! I still love Avercamp, but this Baldung guy... I think Avercamp might've met his match. That is, technically, you've made them a match-up, so I guess they've met....

    Okay, I just googled Baldung, and he gets my vote.

    Uh oh, this could get ugly, but I haven't voted on this one and am fond enough of Avercamp that I need to.

    Erk, just as I feared. It's a 7-7 tie, and it's all my fault. I guess we'll be looking for another tie-breaker down the line.

    Voting is closed in this pairing.
