Vote for the two artists of your choice! Votes generally go in the comments, but have been known to arrive by email, by postcard, or in a sealed envelope.
Please note that you may vote only once in each face-off. Opining that both of the artists in one of the two face-offs is superior to the other is fine, but casting your votes for two artists in the same face-off is not permissible.

All of the links are from 6/64! That's a long way back to copy the format from
Annibale "Haters Gonna Hate Jesus" Carracci and George "Lots of Flamingos" Catlin!
Carracci and Catlin
Caro and Catlin
Easy peasy. 2 guys I voted for against 2 guys I voted against. Caro and Catlin.
Oh, and (putting on vice-dork hat) your links are crazy off. They're all from elimination round #6.
Well spotted, Southern Vice-Dork and Dork Emeritus. Should be fixed.
Caro, and Catlin only because of the flamingos (oes?) but I really don't like his other painting on offer.
Annibale Carracci
George Catlin
yep
Caro and del Castagno. Yes, the private party in the Agate Room of the Last-Nite Diner beats out all the squiggly flamingos and hummocks of savages.
Oh - I missed the agate room aspect - I'm switching my vote from Catlin to del Castagno.
Carracci and Del Castagno.
Here's a vote-by-email for "Caro over Caracci & Catlin over Castagno"
While for me, it's Caro over Caracci but Andrea "Judas Gonna Betray Jesus" Castagno over George Catlin.
Caro and Catlin
And the smoke clears on two 7-4 victories, Caro over Carracci and Catlin over Castagno. Our winners will advance to take on Catena and Carra respectively; our losers will move on to the, um, Hall of Honour.
Voting closed in this round.
