FF117, 1920S, Gertrude Stein (February 3, 1874 -- July 27, 1946) was an American writer and thinker who spent most of her life in France.[1] She was well known for her writing, her art collection, and the many people (some of whom were, or became, famous) who visited her Paris salon.Her adult life featured two main personal relationships. The first was her working relationship with her brother Leo Stein, from 1874 to 1914, and the second was her romantic relationship with Alice B. Toklas, from 1907 until Stein's death in 1946. Stein shared her salon at 27 rue de Fleurus, Paris, first with Leo and then with Alice. Throughout her lifetime, Stein also had significant relationships with avant garde artists and literary people. She was friends with young artists Matisse and Picasso during the early 1900s, authors Thornton Wilder and Ernest Hemingway during the 1920s. She is credited with coining the term Lost Generation as description of her many expatriate acquaintances in France and Italy during the 1920s and 1930s., http://www.myfootage.com/details.php?gid=58&sgid;=&pid;=20261

Gertrude Stein (February 3, 1874 -- July 27, 1946) was an American writer of novels, poetry and plays that eschewed the narrative, linear, and temporal conventions of 19th-century literature, and a fervent collector of Modernist art. She was born in West Allegheny (Pittsburgh), Pennsylvania, raised in Oakland, California, and moved to Paris in 1903, making France her home for the remainder of her life. For some forty years, the Stein home at 27 Rue de Fleurus on the Left Bank of Paris was a renowned Saturday evening gathering place for both expatriate American artists and writers and others noteworthy in the world of vanguard arts and letters, most notably Pablo Picasso. Entrée into the Stein salon was a sought-after validation, and Stein became combination mentor, critic, and guru to those who gathered around her, including Ernest Hemingway, who described the salon in A Moveable Feast. In 1933, Stein published a kind of memoir of her Paris years, The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, written in the voice of Toklas, her life partner. The book became a literary bestseller and vaulted Stein from the relative obscurity of cult literary figure into the light of mainstream attention.

Gertrude Stein - "How She Bowed to her Brother"

Emanating from the late 19th century and reaching its peak after the First World War, Modernism freed artists and writers to experiment with styles and themes, form new modes of expression, as well as reconsider the complex, open-ended nature of meaning. From Picasso’s avant-garde cubism, to Gertrude Stein’s convention-breaking poetry, Modernism offered authors and creators alike the same autonomy and self-consciousness that Kool Herc and the originators of hip hop used to "feel out" a new direction in music. The video begins acapella, an excerpt from Stein's poem "How She Bowed to her Brother" (recorded by Stein at Columbia University in 1935 for The Contemporary Poets Series) and transitions into a rhythmic syncing of the poem's PART I to the Lords of the Underground’s “Chief Rocka” instrumental. - enjoy and wonder How She Bowed to her Brother BY GERTRUDE STEIN PART I " The story of how she bowed to her brother.

At the time of its debut in 1934, Four Saints in Three Acts overturned operatic convention with a libretto by Gertrude Stein that emphasized the sound of words over story. Spurred by Stein's language play is Virgil Thomson's sublime score, which celebrates the hymns and folks songs at the heart of American music. San Francisco's Opera Parallèle's new staging is a more structured tragicomic opera that follows the passage of the Saints Theresa and Ignatius from life to death, with interconnecting dark-comedy vignettes that explore some of society's views of life, death and justice. Thomson's final score unfolds in iconic scenes of moral decision making: the bedroom, the operating room and the courtroom.
