I wouldn't vote for Van Doesburg here, but I can see the appeal. Manet for me.
Manet!

A close one for me.

Close, but it's Manet.
Susan says "Manet"
I think it's neat that van Doesburg has survived so long in this tournament, and I'm not an especial fan of Manet. But, yeah, Manet here.
I was leaning towards van Doesburg until I scrolled down far enough to see Manet.
Van Doesburg ends an odd Tournament career here in which, first, he tied with William Dobson -- who subsequently went two-and-out -- and second, he took a brutal 0-15 pasting from Ernst Haeckel... and then found some momentum with three straight wins. Losing to Manet ends his comeback run, and he finishes with 3-2-1 and a record for the Tournament artist with the greatest number of votes against him so far. Manet's win keeps him in the Big Game; he'll continue next week against Franz Marc.
