In the IAT bracket structure, artists who make it to Second Round Elimination often share some kind of history. In the case of Jan van Scorel and Martin Schongauer, that history is that they've both been defeated by Kurt Schwitters. Seriously, don't even mention collage to either one of them right now. It's kind of a sore subject.

I'll vote Schongauer, for that last one.
I'm with Morgan, Schongauer solely for the last one.
Schongauer.
I got to go with the first guy. I'm fascinated with the naked muscular woman. That was not a body type that would have been popular to paint back then, I'm thinking.
