Biographies
“[An] epic account of life and loves among artists and writers in Paris from belle époque to world slump. ” —William Feaver, The Spectator
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. Sixteen pages of black-and-white illustrations are featured.
“Franck spins lavish historical, biographical, artistic, and even scandalous details into a narrative that will captivate both serious and casual readers … Marvelous and informative. ” —Carol J. Binkowski, Library Journal
