Rue de Fleurus


Leo Stein moved to Paris in 1902, settling in the rue de Fleurus, where his sister Gertrude joined him in 1903.   Their brother Michael came to Paris in 1904 with his wife, and they settled in rue Madame.  Picasso painted Gertrude's portrait in 1906, which she said influenced her writing. The family's interest in avant-garde art led to purchases of Cézanne, Matisse, and Picasso.  From October 5, 2011 to January 16, 2012, their collection is on exhibit at the Grand Palais.

A Conference on Gertrude Stein and the Arts will be held at the Grand Palais in Paris on October 20-21, accompanied by poetry readings at Galérie éof, rue Saint-Fiacre (www.doublechange.org).
