Matisse and Picasso

I chose this video at random.
This video talks about the up and coming about these to artists. How they were brought to be famous. It tells the differences in styles as well. Matisse as strategically planning each of his works and Picasso on impulse. A lot of this is talked about in the book. I liked this video it provided more of an explanation of the two artists.
