German; worked in Italy

Pounded by Eakins in Round 1.

Blew a big lead over James Ensor to lose in Round 1 by a two-vote swing. Your vote counts!!!





Faceoff #2: Ernst v. Etty

Max Ernst
1891 - 1976
German

Lost to Richard Estes in Round 1.




-----

William Etty

Made Jan Van Eyck nervous before losing by a two-vote swing in Round 1. YOUR VOTE COUNTS!





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.

    After being behind by as many as four votes, Elsheimer puts on a strong finish and ends up tied with Epstein, 7-7. This will throw the match into tiebreak mode.

    Ernst/Etty will remain open for voting until that tie is resolved.

    No one having come along to vote in the intervening two years and change, Ernst/Etty is now resolved: Ernst got nine votes, and Etty got five. Ernst will return to the fray! But Etty won't.
