Focusing on Stein's life from the end of WWI-WW2, the exhibition explores her evolving public personae, lifestyle, relationships, tour of the USA and life in France during WW2. This is done through a portrayal of Stein's contributions in her writings, patronage and lifestyle.<br /><br />*sigh*Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-38126024073005918362013-08-18T01:29:41.707+10:002013-08-18T01:29:41.707+10:00Leon

And both Gertrude's home and Shakespeare and Co were appropriately Left Bank. <br /><br />Sylvia Beach's shop may have been a bit too late for Harriet Levy, but the literary revolution that was happening in Paris would have been very very appealing to this ex-pat. <br /><br />http://melbourneblogger.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/shakespeare-and-company-bookshop-paris.htmlHelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-84671667379651916542013-08-17T20:20:44.922+10:002013-08-17T20:20:44.922+10:00Hel,

Before you got to San Francisco they had a program called Seeing Gertrude Stein: Five Stories at the Contemporary Jewish Museum.

On visits to Paris, we tend to visit Shakespeare and Co and I was wondering since there was a connection between Sylvia Beach, GS and ABT, would Harriet have been part of that circle as well?Leon Simshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609891995057827081noreply@blogger.com
