Written between 1913 and 1929, revolutionary years in art history, Dix Portraits conveys the deep human engagement between an artist and her subject. The artistÆs book unites SteinÆs ten portraits in prose with sketches by five artists: Pablo Picasso, Christian BÚrard, Eugene Berman, Pavel Tchelitchew, and Kristians Tonny. Utilizing the interplay between word and image, SteinÆs writing and the artistsÆ images provide nuance and depth, balancing humor and sincerity.
With a new introduction by Lynne Tillman, Dix Portraits is an unforgettable artistic collaboration. The subjects represented include Pablo Picasso, Guillaume Apollinaire, Erik Satie, Pavel Tchelitchew, Virgil Thomson, Christian BÚrard, Bernard Fa , Kristians Tonny, Georges Hugnet, and Eugene Berman. Originally printed in an edition of 100 copies with the lithography, and now widely accessible for the first time, Dix Portraits captures SteinÆs legacy as a champion of artists and a pioneer of creativity.
