As expected, Piccaso faced many self-doubtings after all how can he outdo Mattise if he doesn't know any how? He knew he was losing. All the while, Mattise was titillating the world with his new paintings. Art critiques were praising him every where. This was hard to digest. Picasso was left miserable.
