1886 1968 Engraver Friends Hedonistic Leonard Lover Models Montparnasse Painter Cabaret Outrageous
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time from the vibrant and hedonistic world of Montparnasse in Paris during the 1920s and 1930s. The image features the enigmatic Japanese painter and engraver, Leonard Tsuguharu Foujita (1886-1968), who was a prominent figure in this bohemian community. Foujita is seen on the left, dressed in a casual suit and looking intently at his companion. The woman in the center of the photograph is Kiki of Montparnasse (real name Alice Prin, 1901-1953), an outrageous model and muse who was known for her unconventional beauty and provocative behavior. Kiki was also the lover of Man Ray, the American visual artist and photographer. The setting of this photograph is a cabaret club, a popular gathering place for artists, writers, and musicians in Montparnasse. The club was a place where people could let go of their inhibitions and indulge in the pleasures of life. The atmosphere was electric, with live music, dancing, and lively conversation. Foujita and Kiki were close friends, and this photograph captures a moment of camaraderie and shared experience. Foujita's paintings often featured women in provocative poses, and Kiki was a frequent model and muse. This photograph offers a glimpse into their world, a world of creativity, passion, and freedom. The photograph is a reminder of the vibrant and creative energy that defined the Montparnasse scene during this period. It also serves as a testament to the enduring friendship between Foujita and Kiki, two iconic figures of the avant-garde art world.
