What we want to pay attention to here is the Carpaccio Factor. Canova just knocked Carpaccio (2-2, 18vf, 31 va) out of play, but back in September 2012 it was Carpaccio who handed Carrà his second round loss. Does this mean that Canova is a sure thing in the present match? No way. He has to win the votes.
Also leaving the Tournament this week is French landscape artist Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (2-2-1; 29 vf, 36 va).

ReplyDeleteOooh.

I'll take the first guy. A couple of those are standard in bathrooms. I don't like any art that thinks it's too nice for a bathroom.

ReplyDeleteSo has Monday quiz gone back into hibernation?
ReplyDeleteI'll take Canova's elegant sculpture, not quite my thing, over Carra's paintings, which are reminiscent of other artists I like, but somehow not quite as good.
ReplyDeleteAn emailed vote for Carra.
ReplyDeleteLinda votes for Canova via FB.
ReplyDeleteI like 'em both, but I like Canova better.
ReplyDeleteI love Canova's treatment of fabric in stone. Canova!
ReplyDeleteSurprised by how many Carrà votes there are. Didn't expect to see any really. So my vote for Carrà would be symbolic and I wouldn't mind if Canova won. Well, I'll still say Carrà, but won't mind if Canova wins.
ReplyDeleteCanova (I agree with Mrs. 5000's assessment of this matchup)
ReplyDeleteCanova. I agree with lamanyana's appraisal of the situation.
ReplyDeleteCanova still makes me swoon, so that's a vote for me. Er, from me. For Canova.
ReplyDeleteCanova got the votes! Canova got the votes! So, he's moving on to the Fourth Round, where he'll be taking on big name competition. We'll see if he still makes us swoon.
