Pablo Picasso and Gertrude Stein. Few can be said to have had as
broad an impact on European art in the twentieth century as these
two cultural giants. Pablo Picasso, a pioneering visual artist,
created a prolific and widely influential body of work. Gertrude
Stein, an intellectual tastemaker, hosted the leading salon for
artists and writers between the wars in her Paris apartment,
welcoming Henri Matisse, Ernest Hemingway, and Ezra Pound to weekly
events at her home to discuss art and literature. It comes as no
surprise, then, that Picasso and Stein were fast friends and
frequent confidantes. Through Picasso and Stein's casual notes and
reflective letters, this volume of correspondence between the two
captures Paris both in the golden age of the early twentieth
century and in one of its darkest hours, the Nazi occupation
through mentions of dinner parties, lovers, work, and the crises of
the two world wars. Illustrated with photographs and postcards, as
well as drawings and paintings by Picasso, this collection captures
an exhilarating period in European culture through the minds of two
artistic greats.
A celebration of the work and lives of women artists who shaped the
art world of 19th-century Paris In the second half of the 19th
century, Paris attracted an international gathering of women
artists, drawn to the French capital by its academies and museums,
studios and salons. Featuring thirty-six artists from eleven
different countries, this beautifully illustrated book explores the
strength of these women's creative achievements, through paintings
by acclaimed Impressionists such as Mary Cassatt and Berthe
Morisot, and extraordinary lesser-known artists such as Marie
Bashkirtseff, Anna Bilinska-Bohdanowicz, Paula Modersohn-Becker,
and Hanna Pauli. It examines their work against the sociopolitical
background of the period, when women were mostly barred from formal
artistic education but cleverly navigated the city's network of
ateliers, salons, and galleries. Essays consider the powerfully
influential work of women Impressionists, representations of the
female artist in portraiture, the unique experiences of Nordic
women artists, and the significant presence of women artists
throughout the history of the Paris Salon. By addressing the
long-undervalued contributions of women to the art of the later
19th century, Women Artists in Paris pays tribute to pioneers who
not only created remarkable paintings but also generated momentum
toward a more egalitarian art world. Published in association with
