Description:Florine Stettheimer (1871-1944) was an American modernist of German-Jewish heritage living in New York. She was a painter, designer, and poet. Together with her sisters Ettie and Carrie, Stettheimer hosted a legendary salon, midtown/uptown, where they entertained Marcel Duchamp, Carl Van Vechten, critic Henry McBride, and Georgia O'Keeffe. In 1934 Stettheimer designed the set and costumes for the Thomson-Stein opera Four Saints in Three Acts to much acclaim. In 1949, Ettie collected Florine's poems in Crystal Flowers, a privately printed, elegant edition of 250. In addition to these rare poems, this new volume offers formerly unpublished material culled from archives, including three new poems and Stettheimer's libretto for her ballet "Orphee of the Quat-z-arts." Gammel and Zelazo have re-situated this overlooked poet among her modernist sisters, presenting her as an important practitioner of a modernism that integrates multiple art forms. Sixty years after it first appeared for a select few, her poetry shines for a new generation of readers ready to appreciate her irreverent aesthetic and her exuberant painterly style.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
