Piero di Cosimo
Your headline promises Picasso, but your pictures deliver Pollock.
di Cosimo for my vote.
di Cosimo.
I don't dislike Pollock, but gee, fractal ballyhoo aside, it seems an awful lot of real estate going to one squiggly little gesture endlessly repeated. Di Cosimo for me.

Piero di Cosimo because it's people and not scribbles.
Susan votes for Piero di Cosimo by email.
Pollack!
I like the wacky renaissance of Piero di Cosimo, but will lean slightly to scribbler-extraordinaire Pollack.
POLLACK!

Smitten with di Cosimo.
A big 20th century name falls, as Piero di Cosimo knocks out Mr. Pollack by a vote of nine to three. Pollack exits at 2-2, while Piero di Cosimo improves to 4-1 going into Third Round Elimination!
