Cook Book: Gertrude Stein, William Cook and Le Corbusier,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This is not a cook book, but it is a Cook book, a book about a man named Cook. It is a biographical sketch of one of Gertrude Steins dearest and most loyal friends, a largely unknown artist named William Edwards Cook (18811959). Born and raised in smalltown Iowa, he left the U.S. in 1903 to study in France, and continued living overseas (in France, Italy, USSR and Spain) for the rest of his life. A close friend of Stein and Alice B. Toklas, it was Cook who taught Stein how to drive. They also vacationed together on the Spanish island of Majorca. In addition, when his father died in 1928, he used part of his inheritance to commission the then unknown young architect Le Corbusier to design a starkly Modernist home (called Villa Cook), the "first truly cubic house," on the outskirts of Paris. He also painted a portrait of Pope Pius X, served as an undercover agent for the U.S. Secret Service, and, as a Red Cross worker in the USSR, witnessed the aftermath of the Russian Revolution. Amo
