Odilon Redon's two wins are against Rauschenberg and Moholy-Nagy, whereas Amedeo Modigliani's two wins are against Moholy-Nagy and Rauschenberg. It's almost like they're peers coming into this match, except that Redon is 2-1 and Modigliani had a tie that makes him 2-1-1. Only one of them, of course, will make it to three wins. Which one will it be?
Rauschenberg and Moholy-Nagy, since they each have two losses, must of course leave the Tournament at this point.

While I enjoy Modigliani and I believe I have voted for him before this one is going to have to go to Odilon Redon.

Man, I have not been able to figure out how I feel about Redon this entire tournament. I'm feeling Modigliani today, in any case.
I thought was Modigliani guy, but Redon has really grown on me. His colors are amazing.
Redon's grown on me a bit, but I'm all for Modigliani.
Redon. Modigliani reminds me too much of Giacometti, whose sculptures freaked me out as a little kid.
Susan votes for Modigliani
I'm just not a Modigliani guy. I'll go with Redon here.
Modigliani, apparently.
So, according to my calculations, that makes six votes for Redon and four for Modigliani, which I think we can fairly term an "upset." I hope no one is too upset.
