Gertrude Stein's Paris: The Art Collector Who Redefined Modernism
Often overshadowed by her groundbreaking literary contributions, Gertrude Stein was a pivotal figure in the evolution of modern art. As an accomplished art collector and patron, her keen eye and steadfast support cultivated the careers of renowned artists like Picasso, Matisse, and Braque. From her role as a catalyst for the Cubist movement to her salon’s status as a vibrant hub for artistic innovation, it’s time to explore the profound impact of Stein’s patronage on the art world.
Join me on New York Adventure Club as I examine the unconventional story of Gertrude Stein (1874-1946), a revolutionary writer and avant-garde tastemaker whose Parisian salon became a crucible of modern art.
