 Matisse Picasso, by Henri Matisse, Isabelle Monod-Fontaine, John Golding, Anne Baldassari, Elizabeth Cowling, Kirk Varnedoe, Pablo Picasso, John Elderfield
Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso have long been seen as the twin giants of modern art, as polar opposites but also as complementary figures. Between them they are the originators of many of the most significant innovations of 20th-century painting and sculpture, but their relationship has rarely been explored in all of its closeness and complexity. In spite of their initial rivalry, the two masters eventually acknowledged one another as equals, becoming, in their old age, increasingly important to one another both artistically and personally.
