The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas

For Gertrude Stein and her companion Alice B. Toklas, life in Paris was based upon the rue de Fleurus and the Saturday evenings and ‘it was like a kaleidoscope slowly turning’. Picasso was there with ‘his high whinnying spanish giggle’, as were Cezanne and Matisse, Hemingway and Fitzgerald. As Toklas put it – ‘The geniuses came and talked to Gertrude Stein and the wives sat with me’. A light-hearted entertainment, this is in fact Gertrude Stein’s own autobiography and a roll-call of all the extraordinary painters and writers she met between 1903 and 1932. Audacious, sardonic and characteristically self-confident, this is a definitive account by the American in Paris.

Astonishing and essential, the biography that reclaimed Henri Matisse from history's slanders and restored his place in the canon of the 20th century's greatest artists Before acclaimed biographer Hilary Spurling turned her attention to Henri Mattise, precious few facts were known about his life - and those few were distorted by inaccuracy, misunderstanding and glaring gaps. The Unknown Matisse investigates the secret life of The Wild Beast (as he was known), whose early paintings shocked and enraged his contemporaries. It tells the story of an innovative genius, born in war-torn, poverty-stricken Flanders who finally overcame hardship and disaster to fulfil Van Gogh's prophecy: 'The painter of the future will be such a colourist as has never yet been.'

Gertrude Stein, as a college student at Radcliffe and a medical student at Johns Hopkins Medical School, was a privileged woman, but she was surrounded by women who were trapped by poverty, class, and race into lives that offered little choice. Her portraits of Anna and Lena are examples of realistic depictions of immigrant women who had no occupational choice but to become domestic workers. This collection of documents from the history of women's suffrage, medical history, modernist art, and literature enables readers to see how radical Stein's subject was.

Franz Schubert - Sein Leben und sein Werk

Aus Fraktur bertragen

Als ?deutscher Liederfrst? oder verkanntes Genie wird er mittlerweile bezeichnet: Franz Schubert (1797-1828). Doch sein kurzes Leben - er starb bereits im Alter von 31 Jahren - war gepr„gt von dem nur mittelm„áig erfolgreichen Versuch, sich als Komponist zu etablieren. In der pr„gnanten Lebensbeschreibung, die Oscar Bie seinem Werk voranstellt, vermittelt er dem Leser anschaulich das Ringen um Aufmerksamkeit, aber auch die Untersttzung, die Schubert von seinen zahlreichen Freunden - ihrerseits meist Dichter, Musiker und Knstler - erhielt. Im Vordergrund des vorliegenden Bandes von 1925 steht jedoch die ausfhrliche Beschreibung und Beurteilung von Schuberts Oeuvre. Der Publizist und Opernkritiker Oscar Bie macht dabei deutlich, wie tief romantisch Schuberts Werke sind, und dass der Wiener Komponist heute nicht umsonst neben Beethoven als Begrnder der Romantik im deutschsprachigen Raum gilt. Die Begeisterung vor allem fr die ?kleine Form?, also die Lieder und Klavierstcke Schuberts, spricht dabei aus jedem Satz Bies, der es aber gerade bei der Bewertung der Opern und Messen auch nicht an leiser, vorsichtiger Kritik mangeln l„sst. Auf diese Weise zeichnet er ein vielschichtiges und abgerundetes Bild des Schubert?schen Oeuvres, das durch die zahlreichen Notenbeispiele und Abbildungen belebt wird.
