The Morning’s Top 5 Pop Culture Stories

By Caroline Stanley on

1. The four artists on the shortlist for Britain’s $65,000 Turner Prize have been announced, and surprisingly, there’s not a painter in the entire bunch; Luke Fowler and Elizabeth Price are both filmmakers, Paul Noble is the creator of “a dystopic fictional metropolis called Nobson Newtown” that’s populated by human figures drawn as excrement, and Spartacus Chetwynd is a performance artist with a strong pop culture bent. The winner will be announced at a ceremony on December 3. [via ArtsBeat]

2. The promos for this week’s Eli Manning-hosted installment of Saturday Night Live are online. What do you think, will he be funnier than Charles Barkley was earlier in the season? [via Pop Culture Brain]

3. First Shane, now Dale. It’s starting to seem like anyone who died on the last season of The Walking Dead will be showing up in former showrunner Frank Darabont’s new series, LA Noir. [via Vulture]

4. Daniel Radcliffe playing a younger version of Jon Hamm? Apparently it could be happening in new a four-part British miniseries about Russian doctors after the First World War. [via The Sun]

5. In response to questions from both public officials and patrons, amended wall text detailing Gertrude Stein’s relationship with Vichy collaborator and Nazi agent Bernard Fäy — particularly, how it “contributed to the protection of Stein and her companion Alice B. Toklas in France during the war” — is being added to the Metropolitan Museum of Art‘s popular The Steins Collect exhibition. [via ArtsBeat]

Dear  , they are right looking for the historic truth about Gertrude Stein in this however wonderfull exhibition,"The Steins Collect;Matisse,Picasso,Cezanne and the Parisian Avant Garde" in NewYork at the Metropolitan Museum of Art . Because what a pleasure to see the portrait of Gertrude Stein by Riba-Rovira .Who was as Picasso an antifascist and antinazi artist .Persecuted by Franco and the Nazis . But who is in this exhibition ,thanks to Rebecca Rabinow and Edward Burns, perhaps the only one artist would fought them weapons in his hands . Whose father was in jail after the spanish civil war .So Riba-Rovira is beside Tchelitchew and Balthus and Francis Rose near Picabia and Picasso in the last room of this exhibition with Cézanne, Matisse . And you have an interesting article in Appollo London Revew about him .And also in Artes Magazine from San Francisco where the exhibition was before . But the main document as a revelation is with the mention beside the picture with the Preface Gertrude Stein wrote for first Riba-Rovira's exhibition in the Galerie Roquepine in Paris on 1945 . Where we can read Gertrude Stein writing Riba-Rovira "will go farther than Cezanne...will succeed in where Picasso failed...I am fascinated " by Riba-Rovira Gertrude Stein tells us . And you are you also fascinated indeed as Gertrude Stein by Riba-Rovira ? Me I am when I see « L’Arlequin » on the free access website of « Galeria Muro ». But Gertrude Stein spoke also in this same document about Matisse and  Juan Gris . Riba-Rovira went each week in Gertrude Stein's saloon rue Christine with Masson ,Hemingway and others. By Edward Burns and Carl Van Vechten we can know Riba-Rovira did others portraits of Gertrude Stein . But we do not know where they are ;and you do you know perhaps ? With this wonderful portrait we do not forget it is the last time Gertrude Stein sat for an artist who is Riba-Rovira . This exhibition presents us a world success with this last painting portrait before she died .And her last Gertrude Stein's Art Retrospective before dead . It illuminates the tone as an esthetic light over that exhibition now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York thanks to Curator Rebecca Rabinow . Coming from San Francisco "Seeing five stories" in the Jewish museum to Washington in National Portrait Gallery .And now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York for our pleasure . And the must is to see for the first time in the same place portraits by Picasso, Picabia, Riba-Rovira, Rose ,Tall-Coat, Valloton .Never before it was . You have the translate of Gertrude Stein's Riba-Rovira Preface on english Gertrude Stein's page on Wikipedia and in the catalog of this Roquepine exhibition you can see in first place the mention of this portrait .And also other pictures Gertrude Stein bought to Riba-Rovira . There is another place where you can see now Riba-Rovira's works in an exhibition in Valencia in Spain "Homenage a Gertrude Stein" by Riba-Rovira in Galleria Muro ,if you like art ... But we do not missed today that all over Europe a very bad wind is blowing again bringing the worth in front of us .And we must know that at least were two antinazis and antifascists in this exhibition but the only one fighting weapons in hands would be Riba-Rovira who did one of the first three « affiches » supporting Republicans in the beguining Spanish civil war . Seeing Potrait of Gertrude Stein by Riba-Rovira in the Metropolitain Museum of New York with Picasso ,Cézanne ,Matisse we feel a recreation of spirit .
