Hot Dates: Collecting Matisse at Vancouver Art Gallery

To September 30

Take a trip to 27 Rue de Fleurus in Collecting Matisse and Modern Masters: The Cone Sisters of Baltimore at Vancouver Art Gallery. Gertrude Stein’s Paris salon was where European modernists Henri Matisse (“Striped Robe, Fruit, and Anemones,” pictured), Pablo Picasso and their contemporaries congregated in the early 20th century. Hundreds of their works were later acquired by Stein’s American friends and art patrons the Cone sisters, and nearly 50 of those paintings, drawings and sculptures are on display in this exhibition.—Kristina Urquhart
