Vittore Carpaccio beat Anthony Caro in the First Round and Carlo Carrà in the Second Round before hitting the Impressionist brick wall of Mary Cassatt in Round Three. In this contest, Carpaccio's victims face off against each other in the desperate struggle to stay alive in the Left Bracket. The winner might eventually get a second shot at Carpaccio, if he can make it into Third Round Elmination.
Leaving the tournament this week with records of 1-2 are Vincenzo Catena (15 cumulative votes for, 21 against) and George Catlin (15-18).

I really enjoy Carra. He gets my vote.
Carra
Definitely Carrà. That horse-racey thing is still one of my favorites.
Carrà
I'll go with Carra also.
Caro seems to have an unfair advantage by having his work appear in a nice field full of geese. I'd think Carra's work might also look better presented with this kind of a backdrop but then looking at the votes it doesn't seem to have helped Caro much anyway.
Tough vote for me and I kind of want to vote for Tony "Jumkyard Dog" Caro. Fairly or not, I don't love that it feels like Carra tries out a new genre for a little while before changing. Still, those tries were pretty awesome. And Woman on a Balcony? Incredibly awesome. So I'll cast another vote for Carra.
Caro. Am I coming around to sculpture?
Carrà!
Here's a vote-by-mail for Caro.
I was pretty much even based on the images here, but after a good Googling my vote goes to Carrà.
Caro!
Ummmmm... Caro. I'm glad you mentioned giving 'em a good Googling, though; I did end up liking Carra better.
Carra. Caro is a bit too mundane.

Caro got some votes eventually here, but it was too little too late as Carra' pelted on to a 10-4 victory. From Carra'/Caro to Carra'/Corot! That's fun to say.
Thanks for your votes.
