I like Braque's work (c'est tellement français!) but I am enjoying Dosso Dossi's work more because of its variety and hidden details. Also he has the better name.
Braque
So far it's another close match!!!
Braque, by far.
Dossi.
And Braque takes the lead!
I love that the dog in the first one looks like a grumpy old man. Dossi.
Braque. But it was close.
Dossi comes on with sumptuous colors in the top...but what's up with those weird people in the upper left? He's lost it to Braque, Braque co-founder of cubism and he stuck with it, Braque can set a scene, just look at him go, set a scene and dice it up and serve it back to you in ways you never imagined, he's left even teammates Pablo and Juan behind, and there he--BRAQUE SCORES! Braque, up by one and the crowd goes wild.

An emailed vote for Braque
We've finally got a Dossi I like, but I'm going for Braque just the same.
Dossi, with all sorts of little hearts doodled around his name.
I'm going to give it to Braque. Dossi looks shopped. I should know, I've seen a lot of shops in my time.
The cubist pulled slowly away and eventually led eight votes to four, just in time for me to declare an end to the voting four months later! Braque it is!
