Rembrandt has drawn the most difficult bracket slot in the history of the tournament thus far, I think. This time I'll swing Rivera. Really dig the second and third of his.
Rivera. Sacrilege I know, but I've actually seen a lot of Rivera's murals, and they are amazing.
Rembrandt!!!
I'll go Rivera.

Susan votes-by-mail for Rembrandt.

Rembrandt pulls out the stops, hits the youth market, and prevails by two after taking the last three votes. A crestfallen Rivera sticks around -- he'll go up against the winner of Rodin/Romney sometime soon.
