Pollaiolo.
Hey, I've heard of Pollock! I'm voting for the other guy, though. I'm loving that hydra.
Gotta say Pollack. Because reasons.
That Hercules (I believe) one makes me a little nervous. One quick move and that knot is coming out! Regardless, a strong vote for Pollock.
Sure, Pollock. Never heard of Antonio del Pollaiolo, and he doesn't even have a Wikipedia entry in English. Yet, if his Hercules looked a little less deranged and underfed, or his Nemean lion skin more credibly knotted, I might have voted for him.
Susan says "Pollaiolo."
I'm not terribly impressed with Pollaiolo. Isn't Daphne's transformation into a tree supposed to be kind of a horror? Here, she just looks kind of smug about the experience. I'm not too impressed with her Apollo, either. Whereas Jackson Pollack certainly did some dynamic stuff with paint, don't you think?
Pollack.
Pollock
Pollock Pollock Pollock. Pollock. Pollock.
I respect what Pollock did, but I still don't really enjoy looking at them, whereas I would look at Polloaiolo, so that's the way I'm going.
Pollack struggles for a bit before pulling away for a swirly seven-three First Round win.
