Gertrude Stein
Gertrude Stein was an American writer, poet, and art collector who played a pivotal role in the avant-garde movement of the early 20th century. She is best known for her modernist works such as "Tender Buttons" and "Three Lives," which challenged conventional narrative forms and language. Stein was also a central figure in the Parisian expatriate community, hosting a famous salon that included writers and artists like Ernest Hemingway and Pablo Picasso. Her phrase "a rose is a rose is a rose" became emblematic of her innovative and experimental style.

A CARAFE, THAT IS A BLIND GLASS. A kind in glass and a cousin, a spectacle and nothing strange a single hurt color and an arrangement in a system to pointing. All this and not ordinary, not unordered in not resembling. The difference is spreading. GLAZED GLITTER. Nickel, what is nickel, it is originally rid of a cover. The change in that is that red weakens an hour. The change has come. There is no...
