Rothko and Rousseau. I would vote 10 more votes for Rothko.

First guy in the first match up.

Second guy in the second one.

Hey, did people shave their pubic regions back then? It sure as heck looks like it.

Definitely Rothko, whose work sadly doesn't translate well to computer screens. And Rousseau, whose works kinda do.

Hmmm. Rothko, with hesitation, and Roubiliac.

Michael5000 said...

A grudging vote for Rothko, and an easy-peasy vote for Rousseau.

Michael5000 said...

Susan votes for Rothko and Rosseau.

Candida said...

Rothko, I guess, and Roubiliac.

Well, it's been half a year since the last vote, so I think we can call time here. It's a pair of seven-to-two matches, with Rothko on top in the first one and T. Rousseau claiming the honors down below. The other guys move on to their post-Tournament career!
