Seeing Gertrude Stein  the companion book to an exhibition of the same name  illuminates less familiar aspects of her life. Wanda M. Corn and Tirza True Latimer analyze the portraits for which Stein posed  the domestic settings she created with Alice B. Toklas  her partner  and the signature styles of dress the two women adopted. Corn and Latimer also explore Steins engagement with multiple art forms and the bonds she formed with younger artists. Focusing on portraits in a range of media  photo essays  press clippings  snapshots  clothing  furniture  and other visual artifacts  this pathbreaking study reveals Steins sophistication in shaping her public image and cultural legacy. Lavishly illustrated throughout  these five stories represent Steins life on a human scale while tracing her influence on a wide variety of visual artists of her own and subsequent generations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45495913349173,"sku":"ByrdShop_0520270029","price":38.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780520270022.jpg?v=1780903661","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/seeing-gertrude-stein-five-stories-9780520270022","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
