470. MATISSE AND PICASSO - THE RIVALRY OF A CENTURY

Chris Parrott via ZOOM

Arguably the two most influential painters of the 20th century, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, had a respectful yet intense artistic rivalry that lasted decades. Rather than simply being adversaries, Matisse and Picasso engaged in a complex ongoing dialogue, with each artist inspiring the other to continually evolve. This two-day lecture will examine their contrasting approaches to color, form, and composition, and the mutual influence that informed many of their most daring creative decisions
