GERTRUDE STEIN ERNEST HEMINGWAY F. SCOTT FITZGERALD ZELDA FITZGERALD SALVADOR DALÍ JOSEPHINE BAKER PABLO PICASSO HENRI MATISSE WOODY ALLEN LUIS BUÑUEL COLE PORTER ALICE B. TOKLAS T. S. ELIOT MAN RAY Stein and her siblings purchased many of Matisse’s early paintings and urged their infl uential friends to do the same. While they were lifelong partners, Toklas made the mistake of outliving Stein, was cut off from her wealth by Stein’s executors and died in poverty. Stein’s art collection had a surfeit of Picassos, and he was often at her parties. In the mid-1920s, Dalí met his hero, Picasso, who helped inspire the mustachioed one’s signature surrealist style. Like many other expats, Stein sat for one of Man Ray’s photos. Dalí and Buñuel collaborated on Buñuel’s twisted 1929 fi lm Un Chien Andalou. You know: the one with the eyeball. Parisian saloon-keeper Ada “Bricktop” Smith, whom Porter often hired to give dance lessons at his lavish parties, appeared in Allen’s Zelig. Picasso and Matisse, championed early in their careers by Stein and her art patron friends, became bitter rivals through the years. The famously macho novelist once referred to Baker as the “most sensational woman I ever saw.” Hemingway’s dying character in “The Snows of Kilimanjaro” quotes from Porter’s 1933 song “It’s Bad for Me.”
Hemingway made his then-wife Hadley sit with Toklas when they visited Stein. He called Toklas “nice, but scary.” Zelig begins with a scene in which Allen’s character and the hard-partying Great Gatsby author discuss the social classes. Buñuel briefl y worked as a second-unit assistant director on Baker’s 1927 black-and-white silent fi lm trifl e Siren of the Tropics. Porter introduced the Fitzgeralds to his friends Gerald and Sara Murphy, who created a hub of artistic debauchery at their manse. Hemingway once called Eliot: “A damned good poet and a fair critic, but he can kiss my [backside] as a man and he never hit a ball out of the infi eld in his life.” Hemingway disliked Zelda for cheating on Scott with a French aviator. (Who can blame him?) In Zelig, Allen stands next to the African- American “it girl” dancer and actress in a newsreel clip from the 1920s. The painter and the pianist met on the French Riviera through Porter’s American friends, Gerald and Sara Murphy. Hemingway savaged his old drinking buddy Fitzgerald in his memoir A Moveable Feast for, essentially, being a wuss. F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda, were regular visitors at Stein’s salons. Hemingway used Stein’s era-defi ning expression “the Lost Generation” in The Sun Also Rises, but the two later had a falling out. The works of Man Ray and Picasso were celebrated at the fi rst-ever Surrealist exhibition in 1925; both attended the fête. Man Ray snapped a well-known picture of his friends Dalí and Buñuel that has them making “wild eyes” at the camera. PHOTOGRAPHS BY CARL VAN VECHTEN (F.
