About the Item
Kiki's Paris: Artists and Lovers 1900-1930.
Billy Klüver, Billy Klèuver, Julie Martin
Abrams, 1989 - History - 263 pages.
1st edition hardcover with dust jacket. 263 pp. An illustrated re-creation of life in the tumultuous world of 1900-1930 Montparnasse with photographs of legendary figures, among them the model Kiki, Modigliani, Picasso, Satie, Matisse, Léger, Gertrude Stein, James Joyce and Miró. Includes gossip and anecdotes.
Marcel Duchamp called it "the first really international colony of artists we ever had." The promise of personal freedom and self-fulfillment brought a generation of artists, writers and pleasure-seekers to the quarter-mile area on the Left Bank known as Montparnasse between 1900 and 1930. And at the center of that life was Kiki, known as the queen of the artists' quarter, who has come to symbolize everything Montparnasse had to offer. The artists, writers and composers who were there--Apollinaire, Léger, Mirò, Cocteau, Joyce, Modigliani, Brancusi Pound, Satie, Calder, Duchamp, Matisse, Hemingway, Mondrian, Man Ray, Pascin, Picasso, Soutine, Stravinsky, Stein, and countless others--created modern culture as we know it. For this book, the authors have chosen among thousands of photographs, many never before published, and interviewed artists and models who were there, to convey in photographs and text the reality and flavor of our century's greatest experiment in freedom
This is a beautiful large coffee table hardcover book.
