Description

Hardcover in publisher’s non price-clipped dust-jacket. 430 pages. Notes, Selective Bibliography, Index. Illustrated with black and white photographs. Translated by Cynthia Hope Liebow. Stated First American edition, first printing thus with full number line. More an anecdotal chronicle of early 20th-century Parisian artistic life than a traditional academic art history, Franck focuses on the social lives and milieu of the titular characters, in addition to others such as Jean Cocteau, Ernest Hemingway and Gertrude Stein to provide an immersive story of a particular era and the personalities who populated it. No previous ownership marks. A clean, fresh, and unmarked copy. Fine in a near fine dust-jacket.
