Matisse and Picasso
Description
Compiling a half-century of unparalleled artistic dialog, this program documents the complicated relationship between two indomitable personae: Matisse, the serene, self-indulgent father figure, and Picasso, the eternal adolescent and fiery primitive. The program employs archival photos and film clips, stunning images of painting and sculpture, and firsthand recollections of the Picasso and Matisse circles, illuminating the intersecting creative journeys of both artists. Francoise Gilot and Picasso's son Claude shed light on the Spaniard's formal reactions to-and admiration of-Matisse, while Jacqueline Matisse Monnier and Matisse biographer Hilary Spurling reciprocate.
