A legendary capital of the arts, Paris hosted some of the most legendary developments in world culture -- particularly at the beginning of the twentieth century, with the flowering of fauvism, cubism, dadaism, and surrealism. In Bohemian Paris, Dan Franck leads us on a vivid and magical tour of the Paris of 1900-1930, a hotbed of artistic creation where we encounter Apollinaire, Modigliani, Cocteau, Matisse, Picasso, Hemingway, and Fitzgerald, working, loving, and struggling to stay afloat. 16 pages of black-and-white illustrations are featured.
This vivid and magical tour of the bohemian art world of Paris of 1900 to 1930--where the birth of modern art took place--is "an epic account of life and loves among artists and writers from belle poque to world slump."--William Feaver, "The Spectator" (London). Illustrations.
