Paris 1925, French Book by Armand Lanoux, 1957

About the Item

Paris 1925, French book by Armand Lanoux, published by Editions Robert Delpire, Paris in 1957. 1925, which only raised sarcasm yesterday, softened suddenly. 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 dress, the girl finds the make-up of the lower eyelid, this dark circle, of her mother, the Garçonne. Van Dongen goes back to the Hôtel Drouot. "We descended towards 1939 as 1900 descended towards 1914, slipping into the abyss as into pleasure", wrote Paul Morand, the magician of 1900. We do not yet know what we are descending towards. But we are not going there cheerfully. These are the only notable differences" AL. This is a beautiful coffee table art book. Features: Title: Paris 1925. Author: Armand Lanoux. Hardcover book. Language: French. Full of black and white and full-color photographs and illustrations. 106 pages. Dimensions: 8.25 in x 7.50 in (21 x 19 cm). This first edition was published in 1957 by Editions Robert Delpire, Paris. The book is in good condition, with damage on the upper part of the book edge and dirt on the hardcover.

By Modern History
Located in Atlanta, GA
Paris Secret et Insolite (Secret and Unusual Paris), French book by Rodolphe Trouilleux. Under the cobblestones, surprises: forgotten dead-ends, a cloister converted into workshops, a real-fake medieval house, the slabs of the guillotine, a 17th-century metro, a mineral water fountain, a tiny house, a miraculous Vespasian, a chapel in spare parts, Russian isbas, hidden gardens, revolutionary inscriptions, a forgotten cannonball, a working-class town in the upscale neighborhoods, a fashionable ox, abandoned convents, a washhouse facade, a bastion on the fortifications, an itinerant chapel, a pierced castle, sleeping villas, a lemon tree in a telephone booth, that's Paris! The French capital has not finished revealing its mysteries: a Palladian villa, a 15th-century tower, an acclimatization square, rats nibbling on a facade, an old Protestant cemetery, a medieval sign...
