“A writer should write with his eyes, and a painter paint with his ears.”
Gertrude Stein
The friendship between Gertrude Stein and Pablo Picasso crystallized around their respective work, founders of Cubism, based on the constituent elements of their literary and pictorial practice: analytical decomposition of simple elements of everyday life, language and painting, seriality - all founding formal characteristics of
pictorial and literary avant-gardes of the 20th century.
Gertrude Stein was a Jewish-American lesbian immigrant who settled in Paris, on Rue de Fleurus, shortly after the arrival of Picasso, a young Spanish artist, in 1901. Their position as foreigners, with a limited command of French, and their marginality established their belonging to the Parisian bohemian movement and their artistic freedom.
Their legacy is immense. Examining their complicity and inventiveness allows us to sketch a journey through conceptual and performative approaches to art, poetry, music, and theater through the eyes of great figures: Juan Gris, Marcel Duchamp, Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, Bruce Nauman, Carl Andre, Roni Horn, Glenn Ligon, Anne Teresa De Keersmaecker, John Cage, Steve Reich, Bob Wilson, Philip Glass, and others.
Indeed, as the first American avant-garde artist, Gertrude Stein constitutes a tutelary figure of American art and her poetry plays a central role in conceptual art. While that of Marcel Duchamp and his ready-mades as a source of conceptual art is fully established in French historiography, Stein's name is rarely invoked there, whereas American studies devote a prominent place to her.
