The Infinite Art Tournament Round 1: Manet v. Mangold!


It being the first weekend of an odd-numbered month you're fully within your rights to expect a semi-finals match today.  But!  I find that there are no such matches quite ready to begin.  Barring truly epic cascades of future ties, this is the only time this will happen, but it's happening now and we will just have to deal with it.

We will deal with it by just moving on to the next First Round matches.  Manet and Mangold will have to start a week earlier than they expected, but don't worry.  They're pros.





Édouard Manet
1832 - 1983
French




-----

Robert Mangold
born 1937
American

Mangold isn't bad for a minimalist. Curves definitely help. But that's not enough, of course, to make me hesitate over another vote for Manet.

Manet, with a tip of the cap to Mangold.

Whoops, it looks like I tried to vote twice.

Manet wins easily in the First Round, 9 votes to 2.
