Biography


Stein was born in Paris, the son of bookbinder Marc-Séverin and Barbe Kintziger.[1] By 1906, he was living in Montigny-sur-Loing.[4]

He was a member of the Société des artistes français, and exhibited at the Salon des artistes français from 1912 to 1914,[5][6][7] during which time he lived in Melun.[8][9][10]

He was a student of Jules Lefebvre and Gustave Boulanger.[11][5]


Style


Stein's works are marked by spontaneity, dynamism and movement, giving the viewer the feeling of participating in the scenes observed. Under the influence of Jean Béraud, he worked in particular on the treatment of light to translate the bustle of Parisian life.[12] He populated his paintings with elegant women in a hurry as they went about their daily business.[13]

In response to a commission in 1910 by Léon Roubot, director of the Élysée-Palace, Stein produced a set of four large canvases for the décor of a new casino in Vichy,[14] which depicted carriage rides, visits to the brasseries, the casino and the racetrack.[13]

Conflict of sources


Sources conflict over Stein's dates of birth and death. The Benezit Dictionary of Artists gives the year of birth as "c. 1870".[18] The auction house Christie's, among others, gives the dates 1855–1930,[19] and the French National Library the dates 1870–1955.[20]

There is some ambiguity over Stein's gender; some gallery websites describe him as a female painter.[21]
