Gabo's neat, but Feininger's prettier. Feininger.

Owie, I have great fondness for them both. But especially Feininger, I find.

Feininger. Saw a couple of his works in Dublin earlier this year and fell in love. He doesn't always kick a goal, but when he does it really is divine.

Oh gosh, tough, only actually not as tough as I want it to be. My instincts say clearly Feininger. Can't believe I'm voting for paint over string, but there you have it. The medium is not the message.

Feininger. Gabo's stuff is cool in principle, but always looks kind of tatty in person.

I think I've said this before: I have a special fondness for Gabo.
