My mind says Michelangelo, but my heart says Wyeth. I'll go Wyeth.

"I definitely go with Michelangelo. They are just more complex." Elliott

My heart says Wyeth, and also my mind.

Not a fan of either, to be honest. But Michelangelo, mostly for his sculpture.

On the FB feed, we've got two for Wyeth and one for Mike.

Wyeth has been growing on me, and I don't think I've always voted for Michelangelo, but I'm feeling Michelangelic today.

Oh, definitely Michelangelo. Elliott's comment is spot on. I love Wyeth, too, but you know, it's like comparing apples and apple orchards.

Susan votes Michelangelo.

Michael5000 said...

Wyeth's great. I vote Michelangelo without hesitation.

pfly said...

Uh, Michelangelo. Wyeth is great and all, but he's no Michelangelo.

Michelangelo, one of your leading household-name artists, has had a tie and several close matches, but he still hasn't managed to lose a round yet. Here he is dispatching Andrew Wyeth, despite a hometown crowd of mostly Unitedstatsian voters -- but only by a single vote! A thrilling finish to the Fourth Round of the Infinite Art Tournament!
