We have here two (2) votes from the land of Facebook: Rebecca observes "Velázquez Velázquez Velázquez are you even kidding??" while Mariah notes that "Despite Velazquez's obvious use of a time machine to paint Peter Dinklage in GOT costume, I'm voting for Duchamp (NOT because of that damned urinal, but because of his painting) . . ."
Never Duchamp!
Velazquez!
Velázquez
Velazquez, for sure.
By the way if anyone of Michael's erudite, cosmopolitan, and decidedly good-looking readers are fans of crossword puzzles, please take a look at my blog.

Duchamp! Art has never been the same!
And I love showing my kids the urinal and asking them if this is art. They vote a resounding, "No!" If they only knew!
I'm a sucker for Duchamp
Susan votes for Velázquez
I don't care. But the realization that I don't care has reminded me that it's the dark half of the year now and I should probably start taking my vitamin D supplements again.
I'll go with "Velázquez Velázquez Velázquez are you even kidding"
And it's a decisive win for Velázquez in the final First Round Match of the Infinite Art Tournament. What a long, strange trip it is! There a lot more rounds left, of course, and Velázquez will try to make his way through a lot of them starting next weekend. Duchamp will also try to make his way through a lot of them, but with a loss already on his record, it will be a tougher gig for him.
