Description: The American art critic/collector and writer Gertrude Stein (1874-1946), together with her brothers Leo and Michael and Michael's wife Sarah, moved to Paris in the early 20th Century. There they influenced the course of art and literature, and of them all, Gertrude was the most outstanding. In her home, Saturday evening salons became centers for the city's vibrant cultural life, and with her family, she developed new standards of taste for art--Cubism with its fracturing of forms, Surrealism, and the stream-of-consciousness style (Joyce, Hemingway) in writing. Not only avid collectors of works by their close friends, Matisse and Picasso, The Steins, in their various homes, acquired paintings by Cezanne, Gauguin, Renoir, and others. The session traces the evolution of the Steins' taste and examines the relationships between the family members and their artist friends. Their holdings have been assembled in a major exhibit now at NYC's Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is said that Gertrude coined the phrase "the lost generation." which continues to resonate, and show, in some measure, how the family was a powerful cultural force in the 1920's and 1930's.
