I like them both, but am backing Braque.
Braque by far.

I'll go with Denis over cubism's Engels.
Braque.
Denis.
I like Denis mostly as the artist that Chuckdaddy's son did a charming, er, study off of. But I like Braque quite a bit more. Him.

Denis put up a good fight in this one, but at the end of the day -- by the middle of March, actually -- Braque had collected seven votes to his five. "Cubism's Engels" moves to the Fourth Round, where he'll meet Caravaggio. At this level, there are no easy matches.
