Née en Pennsylvanie dans une famille aisée, Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) abandonne bientôt ses études de psychologie et de philosophie pour suivre, à Paris, ses frères Léo et Mickaël. Passionnée par la littérature, brillante auteure elle-même (Trois Vies, 1909), l’on croise dans son appartement parisien des écrivains tels que Scott Fitzgerald ou Ernest Hemingway. Mais c’est son goût pour la peinture moderne qui révèle le mieux son génie ; elle acquiert les œuvres les plus avant-gardistes de Matisse dès le « Salon d’Automne » de 1905 et se passionne bientôt pour Picasso, dont la radicalité fait écho à la sienne en littérature. Egalement collectionneur, Léo reste fidèle aux Fauves, tandis que Mickaël et son épouse Sarah demandent à Le Corbusier de construire leur villa près de Paris. Sans cette famille si originale, l’Histoire de l’Art n’aurait sans doute pas été la même !

La conférence est proposée par Gilles Genty, historien de l’art.

En collaboration avec Alliance Française de Toronto.
