Ports of Entry: William S. Burroughs and the Arts , 1996

Scope and Contents Gertrude Stein was one of America's most influencial writers and thinkers of the twentieth century and is considered by many to be a creator of modernism. This groundbreaking publication and accompanying exhibition present for the first time an in-depth portrait of Stein that knits together her many identities - literary celebrity, lifelong partner of Alice B. Toklas, arts networker whose famous friendships included some of the most prominent artists and writers of her time, Jewish American expatriate, and muse to artists of several generations. This project, 'Seeing Gerturde Stein: Five Stories,' details Stein's life and work as an artist and collector and places them in the larger context of her visual world for the first time. We are also introduced to Stein as a distinctive style-maker and as an expatriate American writer whose life intersected with that of internationally recognized artists and visual culture, from 1903, when she first arrived in Paris, until 1946, when she...
