Summer Paintings – Logic Puzzles

At a recent painting competition, the results were mislaid. Luckily, I remembered the following:

Emery's rendition of the Constable painting was not in last place.
The person who painted the Monet was very successful and took first place.
Glen only just managed to avoid last place and came third.
Alex beat the person who painted the Taylor, and the person who painted the Van Gogh beat Drew.
Can you determine who painted what, and who won?
