Braque & Gris

Picasso and Braque developed the style of cubism. Juan Gris was their most enthusiastic disciple. Braque admired his work, but thought he got a bit too formulaic about it. This comic illustrates a story Braque used to like to tell.

Matisse & Renoir: King of the Fauves

This is a story described in Matisse the Master by Hilary Spurling. 

Calder, Duchamp & Arp

I took a little artistic license with this one. We do know that Calder got the idea for what to name his mobiles and stabiles from Duchamp and Arp, respectively. However, it didn't happen all at once like this at an exhibition. Well, it makes a better comic strip, so -- my bad.

Cezanne: Expressions

This comic strip illustrates an anecdote I read in "Renoir, My Father" by Jean Renoir.

Matisse: Advice for a Young Artist

This comic strip illustrates an event recounted in The Unknown Matisse by Hilary Spurling.  I've been reading a lot of artist biographies, and I think I have enough stories for a second issue of Artist to Artist -- if the first one is received well, I'll keep going.
