To say that famous art photographer Carl Van Vechten was obsessed with author Gertrude Stein might be an understatement. Despite being of an almost equal stature in the art world, Van Vechten devoted a large portion of his life to promoting and vaulting Stein into the mainstream and making her into much of the celebrity she is today. As a result of this odd collaboration, the image that Van Vechten took of Stein in the 1930's are among his most widely sought after by collectors. The offered double weight masterpiece captures Stein in from of two models with their backs to the photographer in what can only be described as a work of art! Embossed on the lower right corner and in perfect condition, this is the only image of Gertrude Stein by Carl Van Vechten that we have ever seen!
