A memory of Gertrude Stein 1903-1907: Years of training, after years of learning in #barcelona It is true that these, under the rule of the #catalan #academic had been a #backwards #step for #picasso #born #master He told me he did not love his same tables and then judging below what he had done at #Corunna, only advised by his #father. It is 1900, at the age of 18, he went to #Paris for the first time. He returned twice to settle permanently in 1901. Borrowing castoffs fall, one by one, the trappings of the Catalan school like glances pseudo-elements of some #painters who had #dazzled a time, in contact #Paris. Its true nature is #manifest #freely. He knows the #poets #Max Jacob, first and #Guillaume #Apollinaire , #AndréSalmon . He meets a little later, Gertrude Stein, dear friend now. #She was the first to collect his #work #seriously. Yet the first contact between #gertrudestein and the #French #poets , #Picasso’s #friends , had not been smooth! ~Buste De Jeune Homme. 1907 #Pochior #mourlot #jacomet #paris 1954 #artgroupprojects #carlsbad #encinitas #california #aviara #parkhyattaviararesort #fourseasons
