About Gertrude Stein

The artwork titled “Gertrude Stein” is a portrait created by Francis Picabia in 1933, utilizing oil on canvas as the medium. This piece belongs to the Expressionism art movement and is currently part of a private collection.

In the artwork, Gertrude Stein is depicted with broad, bold lines that accentuate her strong physical presence. Stein is shown draped in simplified, flowing garments that emphasize her form. Her empty yet observant gaze coupled with the unsmiling expression conveys a sense of solemnity and contemplation. The background consists of simplified, abstracted forms of nature, with rolling hills and faint structures in the distance, which provides a serene yet unembellished setting for Stein’s portrayal. The use of muted, earthy tones complements the robust lines of Stein’s figure, enhancing the immersive, introspective quality of the portrait.
