This is a story about rivalry among artists. Not the kind of
rivalry that grows out of hatred and dislike, but rather, rivalry
that emerges from admiration, friendship, love. The kind of rivalry
that existed between Degas and Manet, Picasso and Matisse, Pollock
and de Kooning, and Freud and Bacon. These were some of the most
famous and creative relationships in the history of art, driving
each individual to heights of creativity and inspiration - and
provoking them to despair, jealousy and betrayal. Matisse's success
threatened Picasso so much that his friends would throw darts at a
portrait of his rival's beloved daughter Marguerite, shouting
'there's one in the eye for Matisse!' And Willem de Kooning's
twisted friendship with Jackson Pollock didn't stop him taking up
with his friend's lover barely a year after Pollock's fatal car
crash. In The Art of Rivalry, Pulitzer Prize-winning art critic
Sebastian Smee explores how, as both artists struggled to come into
their own, they each played vital roles in provoking the other's
creative breakthroughs - ultimately determining the course of
modern art itself.
