What is the difference between Matisse and Picasso?

Accepted Answer

The difference between Matisse and Picasso is that their work is associated with different art movements.

Although his work evolved over the course of his career, Pablo Picasso is best known for his association with the Cubist movement, which he is credited with founding with Georges Braque. In Cubist works, reality gets fragmented into flat, geometric forms. Shop a collection of Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso art on 1stDibs.
