Long viewed as the greatest modern artists, Matisse and Picasso were rivals in their time and continue to vie for the title of greatest modern artist. Different in almost every respect, they had in common an all-consuming passion for their art and the certainty that each was greater than the other was. These twelve-month wall calendars focus on these two modern masters. By pairing their art in each month, the calendar showcases both the differences between them and the influence they had on each other. This calendar is published in conjunction with the important Matisse/Picasso exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, on view February 13 - May 19, 2003, which will be certain to fuel the ongoing debate as to the greatest artist of the twentieth century.
