First and foremost, the exhibition displays works of painting and sculpture of great importance in their own right. At the same time, the exhibition evokes a highly significant moment in the history of art and illuminates the personalties of four members of a noted family (Getrude Stein, Leo Stein, Michael Stein and Sarah Stein) , whose daring led them to acquire works by masters of the modern movement before they had attained wide renown. The Introduction by Margaret Potter explains that the majority of the works in this exhibition were acquired by the Steins in the decade preceding the first World War, when the Steins shared the adventure of collecing modern art in Paris. Those works have been supplemented by later additions that the Steins made to their respective collections, when they no longer lived in such close association and their tastes tended to diverge.
