The Infinite Art Tournament Left Bracket Second-Round Elimination: Laurencin v. Matta!


Jan Davidsz de Heem beat Marie Laurencin in the First Round, and Roberto Matta just beat de Heem in the Left Bracket Second Round.  So obviously, Matta will beat Laurencin easily, right?

NOT SO FAST!!  Tournament veterans know that it doesn't necessarily work like that!  So let's do this thing right -- vote for the artist of your choice, and we'll see who makes it to the Third Round!




Marie Laurencin
1883 - 1956
French





Roberto Sebastian Echaurren Matta
1911 - 2002
Chile

Laurencin, but it could probably change depending on my mood.

Reading that Laurencin was extremely nearsighted both makes sense and also makes me lose a little respect for her. But either way, this would be a strong vote for the under appreciated aquatic subdivision of surrealism. Go Matta!

Susan says "I would eliminate both Laurecin & Matta. If that throws away my vote, that's okay." This throws away her vote, of course.

Laurencin, apathetically.

OK, by the power invested in me as the curator of the Infinite Art Tournament, I hereby declare this contest TIED!!! Laurencin's six votes are delicately poised by the six votes of Matta. That's what art's all about, people!
