By longstanding tradition, Fourth Round matches are started on the first day of even numbered months, but it's time to shake things up a little bit. With both the First and Second Rounds complete, it's time to start wrapping up business in anticipation of the high-powered Sixth Round matches that can't be too far over the horizon! So, even though it's an odd-numbered month, here's a Fourth-Rounder to kick off the new year.
Jan Steen
1626ish - 1679
Dutch
- Defeated Frank Stella in Round 1 by a two-vote swing. YOUR VOTE COUNTS!!!
- Won easily against Adriaen van Ostade in Round 2.
- Beat Graham Sutherland easily in Round 3.
Jean Tinguely
1928 - 1991
Swiss
- Defeated Giovanni Battista Tiepolo in Round 1.
- Held off Dutch Master Hendrick Terbrugghen in Round 2.
- Came back from behind for a two-vote victory against Mexico's Rufino Tamayo in Round 3. YOUR VOTE COUNTS!!!

Steen, sure.
Love Tinguely, but there's just something about a chaotic day-in-the-Dutch-Life painting. Steen.
Yep. I like the exuberance of Tinguely's tinkerings, but gotta go with Steen.
Susan votes for Steen.
Tinguely.
I surprised myself with a vote for the cybernetics of Tinguely.
I'm feeling a little guilty about the number of pro-Dutch votes I cast, and it's not that I don't appreciate Tinguely's art, but... gotta go with Steen anyhow.
Uh, Steen? Yes.
Low turnout here, but it would be hard for Tinguely to overcome a two to seven deficit. Instead, he'll go over and wait for an opponent to come along in the Left Bracket. And Jan Steen will take on Vermeer!
