Quote: Painting is a blind man's profession. He paints, not what he sees, but what he feels, what he tells himself about what he has seen. Picasso Tate Online together with BT
 

About this Project

This digital project has been designed for visually impaired people and aims to explore some of the ideas, innovations and working methods of Matisse and Picasso, two of the twentieth century's most influential artists.

This project complemented the Matisse Picasso exhibition at Tate Modern in 2002, but was also intended to be a lasting resource supporting independent study and visits to Tate once the exhibition had closed. For that reason, works from the Tate Collection have been chosen where possible.

This project is the first of its kind at Tate, so we would really appreciate your feedback. Comments can be sent to us by clicking here or on the 'Comments' link at the top of the page.
