Vote for the two artists of your choice! Votes generally go in the comments, but have been known to arrive by email, by postcard, or in a sealed envelope.

Please note that you may vote only once in each face-off.  Opining that both of the artists in one of the two face-offs is superior to the other is fine, but casting your votes for two artists in the same face-off is not permissible.

I'll go for the popular "Severini, Sherman" ticket.

This is kind of an "IWICVFTF2A" (I wish I could vote for the first two artists) contest for me, but I'll go Severini/Sickert.

And, time's up! Severini takes down Segal 8 votes to 2; Sherman hangs on against Sickert, 6 votes to 4. And we move on to Round Two! Except Segal and Sickert, who don't.
