Bohemian Paris: Picasso, Modigliani, Matisse, and the Birth of Modern Art - Softcover

"[Bohemian Paris] will captivate both serious and casual readers. ....Marvelous and informative." "[An] epic account of life and loves among artists and writers in Paris from belle epoque to world slump."

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.
