From humble origins, Kiki de Montparnasse became the muse of Man Ray, Kisling, Foujita, Calder and other important artists residing in Paris in the 1920s. Many revolutionary writers and artists flourished on the bohemian Left Bank, and there was one thread connecting them: Kiki, the Queen of Montparnasse. Lavishly illustrated, every image in this book tells a fascinating story and reveals the artistic, social and historical events that created and surrounded the incredible artistic flowering of the now mythical Montparnasse neighbourhood.
