Matisse Picasso

Henri Matisse (1869-1954) and Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) are the acknowledged twin giants of modern art, between them having originated many of the most significant innovations of twentieth-century painting and sculpture. This film is an encounter with the two pioneers, two adventurers in painting, who opened new frontiers. In spite of their initial rivalry and their very different temperaments, each came to acknowledge the other as his only true equal, developing a close and complex relationship You have to be able to picture side by side everything Matisse and I were doing at the time. No one has ever looked at Matisses painting more carefully than I; and no one has looked at mine more carefully than he. - Picasso
