The Steins introduced Picasso to Claribel Cone (1864–1929), and her sister Etta Cone (1870–1949), also American art collectors, who began to acquire Picasso and Matisse's
In The Autobiography of Alice B Toklas, Gertrude Stein mentions many artists and writers that she had a relationship with. From artists like Picasso and Cézanne to writers like Hemingway and E.E Cummings, Stein had a large yet interesting group of friends and even more interesting things to say about them. She speaks the fondest of the people like Picasso who she likes best and does not say much about other artists like Cézanne who she is not very fond of.

Pablo Picasso, one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century and co-founder of the Cubist movement, was a participant in Europe’s political discourse during most of the early 1900s. Picasso’s Guernica, one of his most powerful political statements, was painted as an immediate reaction to the Nazi’s casual bombing practice on the Basque town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. Guernica, a mural-size canvas painted in blue, black, and white oil, shows tragedies of war and the suffering it inflicts upon individuals, particularly innocent civilians. Picasso depicts turmoil, people and animals suffering, with building in disarray torn apart by violence and mayhem. With Guernica, Picasso establishes his identity and his strength as an artist when confronted with political authority and intolerable violence, especially in his native land. Interpretations of the symbolism of Guernica
Rembrandt van Rijn was a great Dutch painter and printmaker who worked during the 1600s. During his life the Netherlands was in a period of great achievement, particularly for artists. Because of this Rembrandt was able to amass a great amount of fame and fortune in his early life as his art was in demand. Unfortunately, later in his life personal tragedy threw him into poverty. In 1656 he was forced to declare bankruptcy and his collection of artwork was auctioned off. (Rembrandt van Rijn: Biography and Chronology , n.d.)
An important corollary of these developments is that as style becomes central in product differentiation, it is necessary for styles to change rapidly. What has been described as the essentially postmodern practice of pastiche is an outgrowth of these marketing and economic changes, in which capital recycles old styles in a desperate attempt to create products that seem "new and improved." As the commodity becomes even more divorced from use-or exchange-value, it becomes a sign, able to be given a variety of possible and mutable meanings depending on the particular market segment. Price fluctuates not according to actual production costs but according to how much a particular consumer will pay. Cultural intermediaries, or those members of the professional-managerial class that work in cultural industries such as advertising or public relations, serve as cultural guides for the middle class, helping these consumers navigate the array of potential commodities available for consumption and offering their lifestyles as models of how to live successfully in this new world of constant consumption.
With this in mind, he and his siblings decided to instead look to discovering pieces from more younger and unknown artists. They were not afraid to take risks when doing so; when Leo Stein first saw Henri Matisse’s Woman with a Hat, he remarked that the piece was "the ugliest daubings of paint," but after returning to the it time and time again, he found a deeper appreciation of the piece and purchased it. Purchases like these completely transformed the lives of artists. Matisse’s work was mocked and ridiculed before being discovered by the Stein family, but after Leo purchased Woman with a Hat, the Stein apartment became a major destination for aspiring artists who wanted to view the unique piece. Occurrences like these were not uncommon. The Steins launched the career of a great number of artists, among which are high-profile names like Picasso and the aforementioned Matisse. The siblings quickly developed a reputation for their remarkable taste. If an artist was lucky enough to be featured on the walls of the Stein salon, they had certainly achieved
The mind-set of the company is to put sales and profit second to creating a special style that can change the world through fashion.
