News at Eleven: In addition, there's an imposing portrait

by Felix Vallotton, a silkscreen print by Andy Warhol for his series Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century, and Edward Sorel's delicious pen, ink and watercolor depicting [Gertrude] Stein lunching with her one-time close friend, Edith Sitwell.

Stein's friendships tended to dissolve or explode once a mentoree surpassed her or the adoring strove for equal footing. Worship was good. But great talent or the promise of it were mandatory for admission to the inner sanctum. There could be only one star in the firmament; she was the sun, and satellites orbited her like the coterie of young gay acolytes/proteges surrounding her during a period she fondly recalled as "a time when all the men were 26 years old."
