The Infinite Art Tournament, Left Bracket Third Round: Van Doesburg v. Manet!

Theo Van Doesburg had a inauspicious start in the tournament, tying his first First Round against William Dobson, who subsequently sunk like a stone.  But after losing his second First Round match, against Ernst Haeckel, Van Doesburg has put together a series of three wins to stay alive in the Left Brackets.

Today, he meets Manet, a big-name painter who arrives here after a Round Three upset versus Timothy Ely.  Who will stay alive to take on the winner of Man Ray/Marc?  Let's find out, starting right now.
