American luminaries mingled with European artists like \u003cstrong\u003eDalí\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ePicasso\u003c\/strong\u003e in Montparnasse’s bohemian arts scene, while artists captured the vibrant dance halls of Montmartre. Carefully curated pictures and text offer us an immersion into Paris life in a wild time.\n\nParis is the City of Light in all its facets. In the 1920s La Ville des lumières gleamed especially bright and became a magnet for creative people from around the world.\n\nThe most famous artists of the epoch, later called Classic Modernism, were in close contact and had lively exchanges with one another -- including \u003cstrong\u003eMarcel Duchamp, Francis Picabia, Pablo Picasso, René Clair, Sonia Delaunay, André Breton, Paul Éluard, Max Ernst\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSalvador Dalí\u003c\/strong\u003e.\n\nThe creative life and all its excesses flourished– bohème is the word for this way of living. Composers like Igor Stravinsky, writers like James Joyce or Ernest Hemingway and exiles from Eastern Europe like \u003cstrong\u003eConstantin Brancuşi\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eMarc Chagall\u003c\/strong\u003e enriched the illustrious scene on Montparnasse.\n\nThe pulsing bars and dance halls of Montmartre were captured by photographers \u003cstrong\u003eAndré Kertesz\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eBrassaï\u003c\/strong\u003e. The French economy was booming and luxury department stores like La Samaritaine opened their doors. Coco Chanel created her own perfume and designed the little black dress.\n\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore than 30 outstanding works of architecture, painting, sculpture, film, photography, design and fashion are presented\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, including \u003cstrong\u003eGiacometti’s\u003c\/strong\u003e Surrealist Suspended Ball and the film \u003cem\u003eUn chien andalou\u003c\/em\u003e by Dalí and \u003cstrong\u003eLuis Buñuel\u003c\/strong\u003e. Each picture or piece of art introduces us to the artist behind it with a  a biography and career examination. The long introductions put the entire period in perspective with many more illustrations and photos.\n\nTo this day, the burgeoning creativity, diversity and savoir vivre make Paris a place of longing for night owls, bons vivants and aficionados of the fine arts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59642915815710,"sku":"1920PH","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/1920ph-1920s-paris-book.jpg?v=1784512468","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/1920s-paris","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
