| Siblings Leo, Gertrude and Michael Stein grew up in the Bay Area and moved to Paris in the early 1900s. Leo (left) and Gertrude (center) shared a tiny apartment at 27 Rue de Fleurus, which they filled with avant-garde art. Just a few blocks away, Michael (right) and his wife, Sarah, did the same. |
A reunion of art is taking place in Paris right now. Works that haven't been there together in almost a century are reunited once again. The art was collected by writer Gertrude Stein and her brothers starting in the early 1900s. The Steins bought paintings right out of the studios of young avant-garde artists — Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and others who would become masters as the 20th century progressed.
