THREE PORTRAITS

OF PAINTERS

[Cezanne]

[Matisse]

[Picasso]

The portraits of Matisse and Picasso were originally published in the August, 1912, issue of CAMERA WORK and later were reprinted in PORTRAITS AND PRAYERS, 1934. Stieglitz told me that he had accepted them for publication as soon as he had looked them over, principally because he did not immediately understand them. These portraits, the earliest examples of Gertrude Stein’s “difficult” work to reach the public, were much commented on and satirized. In LECTURES IN AMERICA she has explained: “I continued to do what I was doing in THE MAKING OF AMERICANS, I was doing what the cinema was doing, I was making a continuous succession of the statement of what that person was until I had not many things but one thing.”
