About the Item
Paris Mythique, 100 Photos de Legende (Mythical Paris, 100 Legendary Photographs), French and English book published by Parigramme.
Has a city ever been photographed as much as Paris? The greatest have tirelessly drawn the portrait, striving to capture an atmosphere, a spirit, a truth. Their talent and providence sometimes propelled their snapshots into legend, suspending the time of an eternal Paris.
A Paris bigger than Paris, an ideal and poetic Paris engraved forever in our dreams and hearts.
In 100 legendary photos, this seductive book invites you on a poetic walk through the Paris of always: the rascals of Robert Doisneau, the shallows of Brassaï, the leaping passer-by of Henri Cartier-Bresson, the lovers by Willy Ronis, the painter of the Eiffel Tower by Marc Riboud, the armed man by Eugène Atget, snowy Luxembourg by Édouard Boubat, the first Parisian by Louis Daguerre, the wet cobblestones by André Kertész, the girls of the mode of Franck Horvath and William Klein, the trembling castle of Man Ray, etc. So many masterpieces fixed, with style and poetry, the representations of an eternal Paris.
This is a beautiful coffee table art book.

We say retro for the fiftieth anniversary of the Decorative Arts. OK, go retro! Joséphine Baker, Charlot, la Violettera, bell bottoms, the threepenny franc, and Valentino reappear in our mythology. Einstein's surrealism, Picasso the Augustus and Cocteau the White Clown, Stravinsky, and Freud have not left her. With the lamé shirt...Category

- Paris 1919 - 1929 Art and Culture, French Book by Vincent Bouvet, 2009By Modern HistoryLocated in Atlanta, GAParis 1919 - 1929 Art, Vie et Culture (art, life, and culture), French book by Vincent Bouvet et Gérad Durozoi, 2009. Paris was an international melting pot of arts and letters during the inter-war period. Between the parade of the Allies in 1919 and the one of the Germans in 1940 on the same Champs-Elysées, Paris experienced a fruitful cultural and intellectual period for 20 years, open to the avant-garde and faithful to the best of tradition. In the period between the two World Wars, France maintained its status as a significant economic, military, and colonial power. The fame of French culture is centralized in Paris, from which ideas and fashions radiate. Artists and creators come from all continents to the City of Light to draw their inspiration and gain recognition in the eyes of the world. During the "Roaring Twenties" that followed the euphoria of victory, Paris shone with a thousand lights. The "Lost Generation," the one of Hemingway and Fitzgerald, is the most significant foreign colonies that animate the nights of Paris who discovers jazz. But the bohemian lifestyle of Montparnasse attracts painters and sculptors from the four corners of the globe, such as Chagall, Giacometti, Miro, and Calder, to the studios, cafés, and bars, such as La Coupole. A chameleon genius, Picasso simultaneously experimented with all the paths, including those of nascent surrealism. Matisse, Léger open academies. The School of Paris brought together painters as varied as Soutine, Derain, Van Dongen, and Foujita. Abstract art set...Category

- 1925 The Memory Years, French Book by Editions Larousse, 1988By Modern HistoryLocated in Atlanta, GA1925, Les Années-Mémoire (1925, The Memory Years), French book by Editions Larousse, 1988. Relive the year 1925 as if you were there. This volume will make you relive, with emotion, the facts and events of the interwar period. Because that year, in France, we hear everywhere humming, "When We Are Two, It's Not The Same Thing" by Maurice Chevalier. Street music and music hall contribute to a good mood. And yet, the economic situation is hardly smiling, and the French government knows many setbacks: in April, Edouard Herriot yields his place as president of the Council to Paul Painlevé, and in October, Aristide Briand, in his turn, replaces it. Inflation in Germany is still rife, and the mark value is almost zero. 1925 is also rich in artistic and sporting events. American crews completed the first circumnavigation of the globe by plane in 175 days. French actor Michel Simon is first seen in Marcel L'Herbier's film "Feu Mathias Pascal." Classical music is not to be outdone, Maurice Ravel composes Tzigane, and Honegger triumphs with his King David. A new phenomenon, sport fascinates more and more French people and attracts many followers. Our tennis players excel at Wimbledon while the All Blacks come to give us a rugby lesson. In Monaco, we happily celebrate Louis II...Category
