Gertrude, Leo and Michael Stein; Etta and Claribel Cone; Sergei Shchukin and Dr. Albert Barnes: Important Avant-Garde Patrons of Then Unknown or Unappreciated Artists
The beginning of the 20th century in Paris was an exciting time for art patrons of vision. The public and critics, still tied to old master or academic art, were not yet ready to accept the innovative styles and content of Impressionists, Post-Impressionists and early Modernists. However, the Stein family, then in Paris, and the Cone Sisters from Baltimore, decided to support these new generations emotionally and economically, purchasing paintings that they could afford well before they became iconic and out of reach. Soon, Barnes from Pennsylvania and Shchukin from Russia joined these patrons, also furthering many careers. Curious about these artists? Find out at this presentation!
