  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 - MalibuMountainWiki
Gertrude Stein (February 3, 1874, in Pittsburgh - July 27, 1946) was an American writer, poet, feminist, playwright, and catalyst in the development of modern art and literature, who spent most of her life in France.
Stein named writer and photographer Carl Van Vechten as her literary executor, and he helped to usher into print works of hers which remained unpublished at the time of her death.
Stein predominantly used the present tense, "ing", creating a continuous present in her work, which Grahn argues is a consequence of the previous principles, especially commonality and centeredness.

 Reading Stein
Similarly, Stein's continuous photographic self-presentation mirrors her literary use of the continuous present tense and perhaps interprets it as a celebration of being, a faculty of being present in the moment, in her body, herself, with the flow of life present at every moment.
The gigantic mass of Gertrude Stein's unpublished texts and photos, which had to be managed, after Stein's death, by Alice B. Toklas, her literary executor Carl Van Vechten, and Yale University, could not entirely be dated with precision.
The correspondence between Stein and Van Vechten finally rendered the solution: in the States, Gertrude Stein had fallen in love with the wallpaper and had her picture taken in front of a piece of it, in 1935.

Stein but for anyone who has suffered the pains of sibling rifts this is any interesting read.

 Cleared of Cant -- Monday, Jul. 07, 1947 -- Page 1 -- TIME
Brother Leo's essays and reminiscences are valuable in their own right as an honest, amused and only slightly crotchety effort to put the whole matter of "modern art" in a clear perspective (despite the title, there is little talk of poetry and prose).
But Stein's book is not about recent events nor political ones; it is concerned mainly with the historic freshness in painting that he came across as a young American in Paris 40 years ago.
Leo's fraternal rancor against Gertrude is rarely expressed, and then only indirectly, as when he recalls that when they were children "everything Gertrude tried to cook turned out badly, but I made bread and apfelstrudel—which is very difficult.
