Picasso traveled to Holland (1905). [Komen] About this time the Steins begin to promote the work of Picasso and Matisse. Matisse had beun painting in a shoking new style, garish colors and wildly formed figures. Picasso's respose was to engender a life-long competition between the two. Other influences on Picasso at this time were stangely unrelated such as Rosseau, ancient Iberian sculptures, and Gauguin. Increasingly Picasso was moved to distilling images. One of his first works in this phase was a portrait of Gertrude Stein who complained a bit about the likeness. Cubism began to emerge with "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" (1907), although he did show it for some time.
