 In "the first half of 1905" the Steins acquired Cézanne's "Portrait of Mme Cézanne" and Delacroix's "Perseus and Andromeda".Shortly after the opening of the Salon d'Automne of 1905 (on October 18, 1905), the Steins acquired Matisse's "Woman with a Hat" and Picasso's "Young Girl with Basket of Flowers".Henry McBride (art critic for the "New York Sun") did much for Stein's reputation in the United States, publicizing her art acquisitions and her importance as a cultural figure.
