EDITED AND WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY ULLA E. DYDO
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY PRESS Evanston, IllinoisORTA OR ONE DANCING
Stein wrote a portrait of the American dancer Isadora Duncan (1878-1927) as a great
artist while she was grappling with the nature of the creative personality in Two, a long
double portrait of her brother Leo and her sister-in-law Sarah Stein. Two contrasted
the excessive intellectuality that removed Leo from direct experience with the greater
sensitivity to experience of Sarah, whose intellect, however, remained undeveloped.
The recognition of their limitations led Stein to the idea of the integrated artistic per-
sonality as a step in reaching for self-definition. Isadora Duncan came to represent fluid,
creative expression of complete physical experience that included thought. Her free,
expressionist dancing is shaped into the rhythmic repetitions and permutations of the
portrait, which embodies what it says in what the language does. It also incorporates
motherhood and children into the portrait rather than omitting them and implying that
they conflict with her art. The words encircle Duncan as “one being one” in a verbal
dance of great rhythmic skill.
In her early notes for this portrait Stein compared Duncan to friends and acquain-
tances who yielded the elements of her typology of personality, and carefully delineated
Dunean’s characteristics. Isadora is what she does—dance—just as Stein is what she
does—write. At the center of the portrait is Duncan’s firm belief, in spite of initial
adversity, in what she was doing as a founder of modern dance and a free spirit, who
wanted, like Whitman, to “see America dancing”: “This one is one going on thinking
in believing in meanings.” Isadora dances and thinks, but her thinking, never stiff and
sterile, is never apart from dancing.
In the manuscript one phrase near the center spells out Stein’s identification with
Duncan as an artist. The paragraph beginning “She went on being one” asserts that
“[s]he was then resembling some one, one who was not dancing, ane who was writing,”
and continues the description of the dancer's stance and movement that now implies
her own emotional and intellectual attitude. In the typescript that Stein retained but
not in the manuscript and net in a typescript she sent to Carl Van Vechten, she lined
out the phrase about herself in ink in a revision that shows her care with the single
focus of the portrait. The phrase has been retained in the Reader as it is also retained
in the posthumous volume Two and Other Early Portraits, where the portrait was first
published. It shows Stein’s struggle to define herself in the very being of another artist,
the first portrait of a woman artist that Stein wrote.
Stein’s working notes contrast Duncan’s temperament with that of the sculptor Elie
Nadelman. The name Orta in the title aligns Duncan as an artist through Horta de
Ebro, now Horta de San Juan, with Picasso and Spain. Picasso first went to Horta in the
summer of 1898, spending eight months with his friend Pallares, and returned there
120 - A STEIN READERfor the summer of 1909 to do the first work defining analytic cubism. By the winter of
1912, Picasso was working on the “Ma Jolie” paintings.
