MATISSE AND PICASSO

Fiercely competitive, Matisse and Picasso engaged in one of the most formidable artistic dialogues of the 20th century. The intense beginnings of the artists, from the time they met in 1906, until 1917 when Matisse left Paris for Nice, had already been studied, but their continuous exchange during the second part of their careers was never examined in detail. In Matisse and Picasso, Bois stages the intertwined evolution of the two giants of modern art as if it were an ongoing fame of chess between two masters.
