I just can't stop myself from voting for Magritte.
Mariah on FB: "Lissitzky. I adore Magritte, but have never seen Lissitzky and the work is stunning!"
Tough. My vote goes to Magritte.

I'm taking the El.
Susan votes for Magritte.
Hmmmm. Owie. OK, Magritte.

El Lissitzky -- which is of course Spanish for "The Lissitzky," have I used that gag yet? -- loses by three votes to the French guy. He had a heck of a run! Magritte will continue on into Four Round Elimination, where he'll take on Andy Goldsworthy and another chance for glory!
