“Robert Bartlett Haas, a longtime UCLA educator who spent years immersed in the writings of Gertrude Stein, has died. He was 94. Haas died April 20 in a hospital in Nuertingen, Germany, after a brief illness, said his son, Peter. He had spent most of his retirement years in Germany.”
“Haas also wrote a 1976 biography of pioneering photographer Eadweard Muybridge, 'Muybridge: Man in Motion,' and edited 'William Grant Still and the Fusion of Cultures in American Music,' a 1972 book about an African American composer and conductor.” [William Grant Still (1895 -1978) is profiled at AfriClassical.com, where a complete Works List by Prof. Dominique-René de Lerma is also found]
