Film critic Parker Tyler on the Stett sisters ? This expensif book is an oddity to showcase Tyler. We know the Stett sisters were wonderful eccentrics and Florine a valued artist. Tyler adds little in this commissioned effort. No bio, no nothing. Only a brief intro by Carl Van Vechten makes sense. Half the painting pix are b&w, which makes no sense.
Says CVV: "Florine was a completely self-centered and dedicated person. She did not inspire love, or affection, or even warm friendship, but she did elicit interest, respect, admiration, and enthusiasm for her work in art."
