SFMOMA "The Steins Collect"

The Steins Collect: Matisse, Picasso, and the Parisian Avant-Garde
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
May 21–September 6, 2011

Friends, patrons, and bohemian peers of Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, the Steins—writer Gertrude, her brothers Leo and Michael, and Michael's wife Sarah—helped spark an artistic revolution in early twentieth-century Paris. This landmark exhibition draws from the holdings of museums and individuals around the world to reunite the Steins' unparalleled collections of modern art, including iconic works by Matisse, Picasso, Paul Cézanne, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and many more.
