Which gender did Matisse and Picasso most often paint in their younger years ?
I have been greatly impressed … A whole series of interiors of La Californie deriving half from Delacroix half from Matisse — great emphasis on ornament , arabesque , simplification … In short , as you are planning to come to Europe , this is a word to tell you that you must see all this in the studio : it is to my mind much better than anything since 1946 .
