The French Riviera In The 1920’s (book) by Xavier Girard. 2014. New hardcover book of 256 pages in a luxury slipcase. 200 illustrations. Texts in English. Weight 8.0 lbs. Editions Assouline.
The French Riviera was the center of creativity in the 1920s and early 1930s. Artists and writers from all over the world gathered there to shape a new way of life, including Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Gerald and Sara Murphy, Picasso, Picabia, Stravinsky, Cocteau, Diaghilev and Anna de Noailles. A photo-biography of this carefree era, The French Riviera in the 1920s revitalizes the now legendary story of these mythical figures caught between the desire to create, the quest for happiness and the impending darkness of World War II.
Featuring extraordinary images drawn from personal archives, these pages provide first-hand accounts of the lifestyles and artworks of some of the 20th century’s most influential artists.
