The Infinite Art Tournament, Round 4: Caillebotte v. Cassatt!


It's the first weekend of an even month, and time for a Fourth Round contest.  With some long-standing ties finally resolved, Mary Cassatt returns to the Tournament after a year and a half of waiting to take on a personal acquaintance, Gustave Caillebotte.  Both enter this match off of big wins -- but only one can emerge!



Gustave Caillebotte
1848 - 1894
French








Mary Cassatt
1844 - 1926
American; worked in France
  • Defeated Andrea del Castagno in Round 1.
  • Gave early 16th century Venetian Vincenzo Catena a thorough drubbing in Round 2.
  • Crushed Vittore Carpaccio in Round 3.

Caillebotte. But I am a sucker for images of people working in their daily lives.

Ooh, two worthy opponents. But I'm going with Caillebotte also. I'm a sucker for those deep perspectives and the whole humans in the human landscape thing.

Caillebotte, though both are pretty great.

I like 'em both! But I like Caillebotte a little better.

Reluctantly, I'm going with Caillebotte.

Caillebotte isn't palling. I'm going to stick with him.

Wow, I don't know what you expected there, but I certainly wasn't thinking that there would be a 15-0 blowout in the Fourth Round. Caillebotte, who started slow and survived a Third Round tie, is sudden on fire entering the Fifth Round. Cassatt, who had the third best overall record in the whole tournament entering this match, needs to start from scratch again over on the Left Side.

Whoa.
