Infinite Art Tournament, Left Bracket Round Three TIEBREAKER: Bellows v. Ingres!

Here's the other half of the tiebreaker that we launched the day before yesterday.  Long-timers will now have seen George Bellows more than almost anyone else in the Tournament, but they sure haven't seen him recently.

1882 - 1925
American








Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres
1790 - 1867
French
  • Beat Victorian painter William Holman Hunt by a two-vote swing in Round 1. YOUR VOTE COUNTS!!!
  • Crushed Alexander Ivanov in Round 2.
  • Lost to Edward Hopper in Round 3.
  • Tied with Jacob Jordaens in the Left Bracket Third Round. YOUR VOTE COUNTS!!!

Bellows all the way. I love the gritty nature of them. Also, that boxer is landing a nice elbow in a boxing match. That would be perfectly legal in a UFC fight that wouldn't happen until 50 years later.

Wow! I'm so glad to see homeboy Bellows getting some love! I adore his lithographs. I like Ingres except that he seems to add extra vertebrae.

Bellows. Although I like that Ingres did a version of that "It's her fucking nipple" manga page

Ingres takes a few late votes to avoid a skunking, but Christine M.'s homeboy definitely got some love this go-round. The beating he laid on Ingres amounts to 12 votes against 2. Ouch! He'll move on to the Elimination round to take on Reni or Bouguereau, either of which should provide some good contrasts.
