The Steins Collect by Janet Bishop
As American expatriates living in Paris, the writer Gertrude Stein, her brothers Leo and Michael, and Michael's wife Sarah were absolutely pivotal in shaping the city's vibrant cultural life in the early 20th century. This title explores the Steins' extraordinary collections and their enduring cultural influence.“Lavishly illustrated…an essential document for any scholar of Modernism and the Steins.” —The Sacramento Bee
* The Sacramento Bee *"This bulging blockbuster (with more than two hundred works by some forty artists, plus documentation of all types) is devoted to the collections and personalities of the Stein siblings . . . The Steins Collect: Matisse, Picasso, and the Parisian Avant-Garde and its sizable catalogue admirably give each family member his or her due, offering a renewed appreciation for Leo, Michael, and Sarah."—Robert Pincus-Witten, ArtForum -- Robert Pincus-Witten * ArtForum *
"This exhibition catalogue is handsome, definitive, and rich with material. . . . deeply critical to future studies of the Steins and the early-20th-century Parisian avant-garde."—J. Decker, Choice -- J. Decker * Choice *
