Because this artist Riba-Rovira ,we discovered now ,was very important for Gertrude Stein .

Why ?

Because if you go to the english version about Gertrude Stein you can find and read the preface she wrote for this artist on 1945 for his first exhibition to the Galerie Roquepine .Gertrude Stein told us that she was fashinated by Riba-Rovira . That he will go farther than Cézanne .And able to win where Picasso failed ... And what she wrote is mainly one of her last text about art painting before dying and it is as a light all over the retrospective exhibition you have for one year around the Stein family ,in San Francisco ,Paris ,Washington ,New York .

And Gertrude Stein bought her portrait by Riba-Rovira .And one picture more at least if you see the catalog in internet of the exhibition on 1945 .
