Not a fan of Picasso (who was Spanish, actually), but Pissarro doesn't do much for me either. However, Picasso really WAS an asshole, so Pissarro wins.
Picasso. I bet I'd like the Pissarros better in person: the color palette doesn't do much for me on the computer screen.

@Christine: He was definitely in the whole Paris scene, man, but the "both French" thing was a definite gaffe. I done removed it.

Picasso, though I wish they could both stick around awhile.
Susan votes for Pissarro.
Aw man, how do ~I~ vote? These are two of my not-quite-favorites, but I'm always glad to see 'em artists! I probably enjoy Pissarro more in a vaguely sentimental way, but Picasso's range is pretty staggering -- so I guess I'm voting Picasso.

Picasso.
It seems like a while since the last real rout, but Picasso certainly puts the hurt on in this round with a 13-2 victory over Pissaro. He -- meaning Picasso -- will take on Georgia O'Keefe next!
