Dancers exemplifies their differences: both use distortion; Matisse is playful and all about color; Picasso is aggressive and all about drawing.

Sleeping Woman Picasso 1931 ~ Matisse 1940

They continually inspired each other. Woman shows them trading styles, both use a spiral composition with repeating shapes: Picasso simplifies shapes; Matisse contorts them.
