The second part of the exhibition looks at thefriendship between Gertrude Stein and Pablo Picasso. A friendship born of their experiences and passions. These two immigrants, who arrived in Paris in the early 1900s, had a poor command of French and were outsiders to the world. Their differences brought them together.

This relationship nourished the artistic work of both artists. Throughout the exhibition, paintings and texts seem to respond to and enrich each other. The exhibition features 28 works by Picasso, then at the beginning of his Cubist period.
