"I first started painting the beach after having visited, and then for many years frequenting, the beaches in St-Tropez.

It's a place where people let their guard down, so what you get is a kind of body language that is both intimate and socialized."

  In 1905, Leo Stein saw his first Picasso drawing at a furniture store. He bought 2 large paintings by the artist soon afterward. That Fall, Leo and Gertrude, to become the most famous collecting brother and sister of the 20th century, bought Matisse's Woman with Hat - 1905. The American, Leo Stein, then living in France with his sister Gertrude, wrote a friend of his recent purchases, "My recent accessions are unfortunately by people you never have heard of so there is no use trying to describe them. He had purchased "a work that had made everybody laugh plus 2 pictures by a young Spaniard named Picasso whom I consider a genius of great magnitude."
