AL MOMENTO ESAURITO

Paris in the 1920s with Kiki De Montparnasse by Xavier Girard (Hardcover, 2013)

An illegitimate child born in poverty, Kiki de Montparnasse became the muse of Kisling, Alexander Calder, Man Ray, and other revolutionary artists of Paris's Left Bank in the 1920's and 1930's. She was not only an artist's model, but also a singer, actress, and risque cabaret performer. To this day, Kiki and the great artists she worked with and lived beside remain symbols of the social freedom and artistic flowering that defined the atmosphere of bohemian Paris in the early part of the twentieth century. In this fascinating and lavishly illustrated volume, art critic and modern art historian Xavier Girard reveals the artistic, social, and historical events that surround the mythical Montparnasse neighbourhood. Format: An oversize edition in a slipcase. ILLUSTRATIONS: 200 Plates
