They host lively salons and befriend notable artists from "summary" of The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas by Gertrude Stein
It was during this time that Gertrude and I began to host our famous salons. These gatherings became known for their lively atmosphere and the diverse group of artists and intellectuals in attendance. People would often remark on the stimulating conversations that took place within the walls of our home. Our salon was a place where ideas flowed freely and where new artistic movements were born. We welcomed painters, writers, and musicians into our circle, eager to engage with their work and learn from their perspectives. It was a unique opportunity to be surrounded by such creative energy and talent. Through our salon, we formed deep friendships with many notable artists of the time. These relationships were instrumental in shaping our own artistic endeavors and expanding our understanding of the world. We shared meals, exchanged ideas, and collaborated on projects together. The bonds we formed with these artists were not just professional, but personal as well. We took an interest in their lives outside of their work, getting to know them as individuals rather than just as creators. This personal connection enriched our salon experience and made our gatherings all the more meaningful. In hosting these salons and befriending these artists, we became part of a larger creative community that extended far beyond the walls of our home. Our salon was a hub of artistic activity, a place where innovation thrived and where friendships flourished. It was a testament to the power of collaboration and the importance of fostering connections with like-minded individuals.
