DIEBS!
(translation: Diebenkorn)
Pour moi, c'est Braque, bien sûr.
Diebenkorn
Diebenkorn
Diebenkorn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Braque
Oh, KILLER. I want to vote for both of them, of course. But, you know, I'm going to go with Diebenkorn.
I rather like Braque
Well, Diebenkorn is cool, but I gotta stick with Mssr. Braque
Interesting matchup and I thought the choice would be harder. But Braque's just don't always seem to quite congeal for me into an image where Diebenkorn's pictures just barely ingeniously do. A strong vote for Portland's prodigal son, DIEBENKORN!!!
Diebenkorn!
Braque - they have hidden pictures, and I always have liked those since my Highlights reading days!
I'd say "Braque, no contest," except that there's a contest and it looks like he's behind in it. But I'll definitely say "Braque."
Braque
Diebenkorn, I guess, though I didn't think I was ever going to vote for him.
It came down to that last vote, but it's Diebenkorn who came out on top in a fierce 8-7 contest. They don't get any closer than that! Unless, of course they are ties.
Votes closed in this pairing!
