  1. Oh yeah, I remember looking up Rosenquist, and deciding the bottom triptych was as good as he got. The brooding Salvator Rosa for me.

  2. I have a weird nostalgia thing for Rosenquist. But sometimes there is a fine line between nostalgia and "what was I thinking?". Still, although I feel I shouldn't, I'll say Rosenquist anyway.

  3. Am I voting for Rosa, or voting against the 1980s? It amounts to the same thing.

  4. Rosa breaks away from a 3-3 tie with four consecutive final votes, and will move on to Round Three against not Mondrian, Rodchenko, or Rodin, but the guy nobody has heard of: Orpen. It's quite a Tournament!
