They have become cultural icons, standing not only for different kinds of art but also for different ways of living. Matisse, known for his restraint and intense sense of privacy, for his decorum and discretion, created an art that transcended daily life and conveyed a sensuality that inhabited an abstract and ethereal realm of being. In contrast, Picasso became the exemplar of intense emotionality, of theatricality, of art as a kind of autobiographical confession that was often charged with violence and explosive eroticism. In \u003cem\u003eMatisse and Picasso\u003c\/em\u003e, Jack Flam explores the compelling, competitive, parallel lives of these two artists and their very different attitudes toward the idea of artistic greatness, toward the women they loved, and ultimately toward their confrontations with death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Flam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081339046X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813390468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e IndieFab awards - Honorable Mention","brand":"Jack Flam","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986714394879,"sku":"9780813390468","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4a69ccd4-40ef-4207-b1c4-418ac910a803.jpg?v=1683284837","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/matisse-and-picasso-jack-flam-9780813390468","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
