	Gertrude Stein Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		American writer Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) was a powerful literary force in the period around World War I. Although the ultimate value of her writing was a matter of debate, in its time it profoundly affected the work of a generation of American writers.
		Gertrude Stein was born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, on February 3, 1874, the youngest of five children of affluent German-Jewish-American parents.
		Stein's reactions to World War II were recorded in Paris, France (1940) and Wars I Have Seen (1945), and her interest in the soldiers was reflected in the idiomatic conversations of Brewsie and Willie (1946), which was published a week before her death, on July 27, 1946, in Neuilly.

	Notes on Gertrude Stein by Louise Bialik
		Stein was disturbed by her fame but did enjoy a new fur coat and an automobile, and said, 'it is funny about money and about identity,' when the outside world is placing a value on the inside world, she hinted, the outside gets inside of You.
		From Gertrude Stein's petite manifesto, "Portrait of Prince B.D." (1922), space and spatial relations are explored to express knowledge on how to paint a picture, or rather, write an honest work that is precise and exact in its interpretations of the physical world.
		Stein's circulatory style of writing stimulates the experience of getting to the point in a round about fashion while being highly charged, excited and driving swiftly to a destination that may seem to be a long ways away and thus creating a special internal inertia.

	Intimate Circles \| Stein and Toklas
		By that time, Stein had been living in Paris with her brother, artist Leo Stein, for four years and their flat at 27 rue de Fleurus had become home to a remarkable collection of modern art, as well as a lively salon.
		Although Stein was a formidable figure among the Paris modernists and highly regarded among the writers who visited her, most critics and audiences found her work too dense and difficult.
		She was Stein’s editor and sounding board, and she was active in creating and running The Plain Edition, a small press the two opened in the 1930s to print Stein’s work.

	Gertrude Stein
		Stein said she had learned from Paul Cezanne that everything in a painting was related to everything else and that each pan of the painting was of equal importance--a blade of grass as important to the composition of the painting as a tree.
		Stein also credits Cezanne with discovering this concern, "a feeling of movement inside the painting not a painting of a thing moving but the thing painted having inside it the existence of moving." She seemed to understand Cezanne's achievement in terms of William James's model of consciousness as an ever-flowing stream of thought.
		Stein's subject is almost always really two things at once: whatever attracted her attention--caught her eye, entered her ear, or crossed her mind--and the mobile nature of reality, particularly as it is perceived by human conscioushess.

		Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) was born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania.
		After posing for a portrait by Pablo Picasso, Stein abandoned realistic narrative to develop her own prose style further, attempting to use words to create the cubist effects of avant-garde painters such as Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Georges Braque, whose canvases she and her companion Alice B. Toklas had begun to collect.
		Stein produced nearly six hundred works, but most of them remained unpublished until after her death, with the notable exception of her best-selling memoir, The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas (1933).

	CONTEXT: William Carlos Williams on The Work of Gertrude Stein
		Stein simply erases their stories, turns them off and does without them, their logic (founded merely on the limits of the perceptions) which is supposed to transcend the words, along with them.
		There remains to be explained the bewildering volume of what Miss Stein has written, the quantity of her work, its very apparent repetitiousness, its iteration, what I prefer to call its extension, the final clue to her meaning.
		But for Stein to tell a story of that sort, even with the utmost genius, was not enough under the conditions in which we live, since by the very nature of its composition such a story does violence to the larger scene which would be portrayed.

		Gertrude Stein (February 3, 1874 - July 29, 1946) was an American writer, poet, feminist, playwright, and catalyst in the development of modern art and literature, who spent most of her adult life in France.
		Politically, Gertrude Stein was deeply conservative; she regarded the jobless as lazy, opposed Franklin Roosevelt and his New Deal and supported Franco in the Spanish Civil War.

		Her two enduring concerns are to portray the experience of woman and to explore what it means to present the fact or act of perception--which can be described as how we organize what we see.
		How Gertrude Stein organizes what she sees and how she presents "seeing": this is probably enough metaphysics for a beginning.

		Gertrude's lover, Alice Toklas, serves cookies she has made and tea in white cups at the gatherings, for which no invitation is required.
		Gertrude's present-day fame has resulted partly from her being seen as flamboyant and eccentric-the expatriate, lesbian, difficult-to-understand modernist writer, the woman whose walls were covered with the paintings of Matisse, Picasso, Cézanne, and Renoir.
		The youngest child in her family, Gertrude was accustomed to being the center of attention, and the sexist, unsupportive medical school environment did not bring out her best.
