Summary:
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.

Summary:
Une Américaine à Paris, Gertrude Stein (1874-1946), entend nous apprendre la meilleure façon de flirter au Bon Marché... De la part de cette observatrice aussi lucide qu'acide de son temps, également inventrice du " cubisme littéraire ", on ne s'étonnera pas de recevoir une leçon tout à fait particulière ! Figure majeure des bouleversements esthétiques du XXe siècle, la femme de lettres évoque avant tout dans ce recueil d'audacieux inédits l'œuvre des artistes qu'elle accueillit en son salon de la rue de Fleurus (Satie, Apollinaire...) et celle des peintres dont elle fut l'amie et la mécène : Matisse, Juan Gris et Picasso, qui fit d'elle l'un de ses grands chefs-d'œuvre, le célèbre portrait de 1906.
