In Part 1 of this 2-part series presented by Academy Village resident, Dr. Deborah Robin, travel back to the bustling cafés and studios of early 1900s Paris where two artistic giants, Picasso and Matisse, sparked a revolution that would transform art forever. At the legendary salons of Gertrude Stein, these fierce rivals pushed each other to explosive new heights of creativity. You’ll meet the remarkable Stein family, Gertrude, Leo, Michael, and Sarah, and discover how their bold passion for radical new art helped launch two of the most important careers in modern art history. Learn how their famous Saturday evening gatherings became the epicenter of the Parisian avant-garde, where apartment walls were covered with revolutionary paintings that shocked and thrilled visitors from around the world.
