Welcome to June! It's an even-numbered month, so here's a Fourth Round match. This one is between two of those newfangled "modern" artists, by which we mean artists from the generation of my great-grandfathers.
Kurt Schwitters
1887 - 1948
German
- Beat fifteenth century German Martin Schongauer easily in Round 1.
- Defeated Jan van Scorel in Round 2.
- Beat Egon Schiele in Round 3 by a two-vote swing. YOUR VOTE COUNTS!!!
Charles Sheeler
1883 - 1965
American
- Beat Cindy Sherman in in Round 1.
- Defeated Jan Siberechts easily in Round 2.
- Beat Georges Seurat in Round 3 by a two-vote margin. YOUR VOTE COUNTS!!!

ReplyDeleteI quite like both these artists, but have to go with Schwitters.
ReplyDeleteI was almost swayed, but Sheeler.
ReplyDeleteIt's one thing to have a style, but another to let it get stale.

ReplyDeleteSchwitters, I think. I've been kind of underwhelmed by Sheeler when I see 'em in the field.
ReplyDeleteSusan votes for Sheeler.
ReplyDeleteSheeler, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteIt's Sheeler without much trouble here, taking the match nine votes to three. Schwitters is still with us though. He'll eventually take on somebody in the Left Bracket Fourth Round. It will take a while to sort out who his opponent will be, though.
