1920s Paris

by Rainer Metzger (Editor)

It was the decade of Coco Chanel and Joséphine Baker, Art Deco and Surrealism, café culture and cabarets. Americans Hemingway and Man Ray mingled with émigrés Brancuşi, Chagall and Archipenko and painters from Matisse and Picasso to Dalí in the bohemian arts scene of Montparnasse, while Brassaï photographed the pulsating dance halls of Montmartre. This portrait spanning literature, painting, fashion and film takes a fresh look at the années folles of 1920s Paris.
