Comparing Picasso and Matisse

Ms Squires Gave us the task of comparing 2 artist called Picasso and Matisse.Matisse and Picasso were born in the same era.Matisse’s art teacher thought thought that he would never be a good artist, but Matisse was determined to become an artist.

At the age of 16 Picasso’s father enrolled him in Spain's most distinguished art school, Madrid's Royal Academy of San Fernando. He struggled to listen what the teacher was saying.Picasso’s style was cubism and Matisse’s style was fauvism.Picasso and Matisse became lifelong friends.
 
Even though Picasso and Matisse have both drawn pictures of women they have a different themes.Picasso theme is war and Matisse doesn't have a strong theme as his painting is showing no feelings.



Picasso’s lines are big, bold and bright black.Where Matisse’s lines match with the
vibrant colours he used.Also Matisse has used bright colours like yellow, green and orange. Picasso has used natural colours.The texture of the painting are different.Picasso’s is smooth and Matisse’s is rough.

Even though Picasso and Matisse have both drawn pictures of women they are completely different.They both have different styles and are different texture.I like both of the pictures.
