This portrait of Gertrude Stein was painted by Picasso in Paris in 1906. She bequeathed it to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York when she died in 1946. You can see that she was no shrinking violet. I had to take the photo without a flash, so it is a bit dark and blurred, but I think you "get the picture." --Kathleen

Great pic of old Gertie, Kathleen. I think I'd be intimidated in her salon, but I hear that Alice could take her down a peg or two.
ReplyDeleteApparently. Truman Capote must have learned a thing or two from Hemingway about airing his friends' dirty laundry.
ReplyDeleteHilarious! Thanks, Kathleen.
ReplyDeleteAnd how fun that even Tori quoted her in A Pearl In The Storm! Loved that.
