It's the first weekend of an even month, and time for a Fourth Round contest. With some long-standing ties finally resolved, Mary Cassatt returns to the Tournament after a year and a half of waiting to take on a personal acquaintance, Gustave Caillebotte. Both enter this match off of big wins -- but only one can emerge!

ReplyDeleteMorgan and I vote for Caillebotte!
ReplyDeleteCaillebotte. But I am a sucker for images of people working in their daily lives.
ReplyDeleteOoh, two worthy opponents. But I'm going with Caillebotte also. I'm a sucker for those deep perspectives and the whole humans in the human landscape thing.
ReplyDeleteCaillebotte, though both are pretty great.
ReplyDeleteI like 'em both! But I like Caillebotte a little better.
ReplyDeleteC-botte (as listed in my artwork swipe files.)
ReplyDeleteNever liked Cassat.

Yep. Caillebotte.
ReplyDeleteCalleboite for me too.I'll never get over those guys stripping the floor.
ReplyDeleteHere's an emailed vote for Caillebotte.
ReplyDeleteReluctantly, I'm going with Caillebotte.
ReplyDeleteCaillebotte isn't palling. I'm going to stick with him.
ReplyDeleteWow, I don't know what you expected there, but I certainly wasn't thinking that there would be a 15-0 blowout in the Fourth Round. Caillebotte, who started slow and survived a Third Round tie, is sudden on fire entering the Fifth Round. Cassatt, who had the third best overall record in the whole tournament entering this match, needs to start from scratch again over on the Left Side.
ReplyDeleteWhoa.
