A legendary capital of the arts, Paris hosted some of the most legendary developments in world cultureparticularly 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 19001930, 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
