From humble beginnings, Kiki de Montparnasse became the muse of Man Ray, Kisling, Foujita, Calder and other leading artists living in Paris during the Roaring Twenties.
Many writers, artists and revolutionaries flourished on the bohemian Left Bank, each inventing their own iconic style, and Kiki, the Queen of Montparnasse, was the thread that bound them all together. As well as being an artist's model, Kiki was a cabaret performer, actress and artist in her own right, with two successful exhibitions to her name. Each image tells a fascinating story in this luxurious, oversized and richly illustrated volume, revealing the artistic, social and historical events that created and surrounded the incredible artistic flowering of the now mythical Montparnasse district.
