Cubist Poetry

Gertrude Stein was close friends with Picasso (this is a portrait of her that he painted).  She is a very important poet and her poetry is considered Cubist in nature.  Her repetitive phrases breaks up the space and timing of traditional poetry (and speaking), much like Picasso did with his paintings.

This is one of her most well known poems;

If I Told Him- A Completed Portrait of Picasso

Our New Vintage Store On ETSY

A few days ago me and my boyfriend, Tyler, went out on a limb and decided to start up a Vintage store on Etsy.  Thus creating THRIFTOLOGY.  We have been searching around the Greater Cleveland and Akron area for great vintage finds.  The creating of Thriftology has lead to the making of this blog, a place where we can post when we get new items or if we are having any special sales.  We love spotting items that are unique and quirky, colorful, patterned, and sophisticated. Check out our link below!

Also, we will be posting fun random goodies relating to: visual arts, music, current events, and popular culture. Enjoy!
