Mantegna! Malevich is fine, but bring on the surfing angels.

Mantegna. Third one with the dudes cranky about being woken from their naps. And the second one is cool. I assume that's a crow or buzzard in the tree, but I swear it looks like a cormorant to me.

Mmm, pure abstraction. Malevich for me!

Susan votes for Malevich -- "bring on the Red Cavalry!"

Malevich can't come back against six votes in a row for Mantegna, and the elder gentleman takes the contest, 7-4! It will be a less colorful Tournament without Malevich, but that would have been true about Mantegna too.
