Paris in the 1920s with Kiki de Montparnasse

DESCRIPTION

From humble origins, Kiki de Montparnasse became the muse of Man Ray, Kisling, Foujita, Calder, and other important artists living in Paris in the Roaring Twenties. Many revolutionary writers, artists, and personalities flourished on the bohemian Left Bank, each one inventing their own iconic style, and Kiki, the Queen of Montparnasse, was the thread connecting them. Not only an artist’s model, Kiki was also a cabaret performer, actress, and an artist in her own right with two successful exhibitions. Every image tells a fascinating story in this lavishly illustrated, oversize luxury slipcase volume, revealing the artistic, social, and historical events that created and surrounded the incredible artistic flowering of the now mythical Montparnasse neighborhood.

PRESS

We hang out with a crowd called Dadaists and some
called Surrealists— for my part, I don’t see much
difference between them! ...Our nights are spent in talking, which doesn’t bore me very much, even if I don’t know what it’s about.
