Thank you.

I wrote this description of why those were the best two suggestions for the four of them: "The reason I paired them up the way I did is because the two "top tier" painters are Van Gogh and Dali. Warhol and Monet are top tier as well, but maybe not on the level of Dali and Van Gogh. Then, Dali and Warhol are 20th century, Monet and Van Gogh are pre-20th century.

That means the two battles I made will each have a 20th century and a pre-20th century painter, and both will have the notability spread out."

Plus, Dali vs Monet makes sense for impressionism vs surrealism. Warhol vs Van Gogh works for a serious painter vs a not so serious painter.
