About the Tour
Members are invited to this online tour exploring the relationship between Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, two artists who dominated the art world for much of the 20th century. Learn about the artists and their contrasting approaches to art making while exploring the ways they inspired and challenged one another.
“All things considered,” Picasso once remarked, “there is only Matisse.” Matisse, for his part, said, “Only one person has the right to criticize me. That is Picasso.”
Registrants will be emailed a link for the tour the day prior.
