Tender Buttons by Gertrude Stein
Tender Buttons, the revolutionary work of poetic modernism by Gertrude Stein, first published in 1914, is a must-read for every lover of literature. This new edition of 'Objects'--the first part of Tender Buttons--lovingly pairs Stein's avant-garde verse with illustrations by beloved indie artist Lisa Congdon. A beautiful re-presentation of a classic, this little volume will be a treasure for art and literature lovers alike.
Gertrude Stein was a cultural powerhouse of the Modernist movement in Paris in the early 20th century. Her avant-garde writing style has never been approached for sheer audacity and her book The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas remains a perennial seller to this day. She is also known for her extensive art collection and for fostering the talents of Picasso, Matisse, Hemingway and Joyce. San Francisco artist and illustrator Lisa Congdon works in several mediums, including paper collage, screen-printing, ink, textiles, and paint. She has been featured in Bitch, Adorn, Country Living and ReadyMade Magazines and on numerous art, design and culture blogs. She is the author of the Birch Forest flexi journal and several other Chronicle stationery titles.
