Both rivals and comrades-in-arms, Matisse and Picasso engaged in one of the richest artistic dialogues of this century. After briefly recalling the origins of the dialogue between Matisse and Picasso, the author dives straight into the context of their reunion, the moment when, around 1930, a mischievous Picasso coaxed Matisse out of his retreat and urged him to step back into the ring of modernity. Matisse and Picasso is not a traditional art history book. This work reads like a novel in which the protagonists are as much the artists and their works as the shifting relationships that set them in motion. Drawing on scholarly research in the archives, Yve-Alain Bois traces the intertwined evolutions of these two giants of modern art as if it were a game of chess between two masters. (IN FRANS)
