Man Ray – Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas Print (1922)

This timeless 1922 photograph by avant-garde icon Man Ray captures one of the most legendary couples in literary and queer history — Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas — at home in their Paris apartment. Far more than a portrait, this image is a quiet declaration of love, intellect, and radical presence during a time when queer relationships lived mainly in the shadows.

Stein, a pioneering modernist writer and patron of artists like Picasso and Matisse, built a revolutionary salon around her ideas — but it was Toklas, her partner of nearly four decades, who shared her life, her art, and her power. Together, they rewrote the narrative of what it meant to be women, lovers, and creators.

Photographed by Man Ray, a key figure of the Dada and Surrealist movements, this image reflects the era’s creative electricity while grounding it in intimate truth. It’s a perfect tribute for collectors of LGBTQ+ history, feminist icons, and timeless black-and-white photography.

Sized at 8×10", this print is ideal for framing and makes a striking addition to any home, office, or gallery wall.

Printed on heavy 60lb matte photo paper with a soft white finish, this piece offers exceptional detail and ink vibrancy. The acid-free surface ensures longevity, while the 10 mil thickness gives it a luxurious feel worthy of fine art.
