Originally published in 1930 in an edition of one hundred copies, Gertrude Steins Dix Portraits pairs her singular literary style with original lithographs by Pablo Picasso and other artists in Steins circle to create an exceptional artist book exploring written and visual portraiture.Written between 1913 and 1929, revolutionary years in art history, Dix Portraits conveys the deep human engagement between an artist and her subject. The artist book unites Steins ten portraits in prose with sketches by five artists Pablo Picasso, Christian Brard, Eugene Berman, Pavel Tchelitchew, and Kristians Tonny. Utilizing the interplay between word and image, Steins writing and the artists images provide nuance and depth, balancing humor and sincerity. With a new introduction by the writer Lynne Tillman, Dix Portraits is an unforgettable artistic collaboration. The subjects represented include Guillaume Apollinaire, Christian Brard, Eugene Berman, Bernard Fa, Georges Hugnet, Pablo Picasso, Erik Satie, Pavel Tchelitchew, Virgil Thomson, and Kristians Tonny. Originally printed in an edition of one hundred copies with the lithography, and now widely accessible for the first time, Dix Portraits captures Steins legacy as a champion of artists and a pioneer of creativity.
