Stein, Helen, 1888?-1965.

Painter.

Born Helen Steinberg in Odessa, Russia, Stein came to the United States at the age of two. She studied at the Art Students League with Max Weber and at Cooper Union. Her benefactor, Sir Michael Crozer-Gielberg, commissioned Le Corbusier to design a studio for her in Paris (1927-29). She met Marsden Hartley, who greatly admired her work, ca. 1930, and painted him ca. 1932. They were close friends for the last ten years of his life.
