Color was not given to us in order that we
should imitate Nature. It was given to us so
that we can express our own emotions. (Matisse)
arbitrary vs. local color

Henri Matisse, Joy of Life, 1905-6I was 35
then. Today I am 82. I have not changed because
all this time I have looked for the same
things.I have attained a form filtered to its
essentials, and of the object which I used to
present the complexity of space, I have preserved
a sign which is sufficient, and which is
necessary to make the object exist in its own
form and in the totality for which I conceived
it.

Pablo Picasso (Spanish Cubist Painter and
Sculptor, 1881-1973) Portrait of the Artists
Mother, 1896 Picasso is 15 years old.

• What people regard as premature genius is the
  genius of childhood.
• So far as I am concerned, I did not have that
  genius. My first drawings could never have been
  shown at an exhibition of childrens drawings. I
  lacked the clumsiness of a child, his naiveté. I
  made academic drawings at the age of seven, the
  minute precision of which frightened me.

Transformative influence of African tribal
sculpture Picassos epiphany in June 1907 at the
ethnographic museum in ParisBraque It is as
if someone had drunk kerosene to spit fire."

• My first exorcism painting.
• For me the masks were not just sculptures. They
  were magical objects...intercessors...against
  everything - against unknown threatening
  spirits....They were weapons . . . to keep people
  from being ruled by spirits. To help them free
  themselves. . . . If we give a form to these
  spirits we become free."

disappeared.
Matisse disapproves of Braques little cubes,
and, as jurist for the Salon DAutomne, rejects
Braques paintings. Cubism is named. Picasso and
Braque begin to see each other daily. Studios
are minutes apart.
