PBS
Picasso and Matisse Enjoy this "rivalry" between
these two great artists. Henri Matisse was Pablo Picasso's senior by
twelve years, and the two men could not have been more different.
Reserved and dignified, Matisse was the image of respectability.
Aggressive and egotistical, Picasso considered himself superior to
every person he ever met ..... Except for one .... Henri Matisse.
