ReplyDeleteOooooh.... this is a tough 'un. I'll vote Rego, for an original version and narrative interest, but I love Pissaro and won't be too cut up if he wins.

ReplyDeleteRego falls out of the Tournament after an awesome 4-2 run, losing to Pissaro by five votes against eight. Pissaro will continue onwards to take on Picasso.
