Gimme some of that old time Boccioni futurism!
Bellini
This is one of the hardest matchups of the tournament so far! Boccioni, with no hard feelings if the other guy wins.
Umberto Boccioni, but with Bellini as a close second. Does that gain him any points?
Like Boccioni, like Bellini more.
Boccioni, but they're both good.
Bellini
I've got to give my vote to Bellini here, for paintings that I like more consistently, and also for featuring a donkey, my favorite beast of burden.
A hard vote-by-mail for Mr. Bellini.
And my own vote for the Italian future and Bocccioni!
Whoa...close one, but I'm going to go Bellini. That's one joyous monk, right there.
Bellini.
All tied up until the last few votes -- where the Owl and Candida knock out Boccioni with a 1-2 punch! It's Bellini to the semi-finals with a 7-5 victory!
