Description:

Located partially in both the 6th and the 14th arrondissements on Paris's Left Bank, the small bohemian district of Montparnasse was a hotbed of creative activity in the early part of the 20th century, attracting artists and writers from all over the world. Almost every artist featured in the annals of modern painting passed through Montparnasse during the years between the two World Wars. Severini, the cofounder of futurism, came from Italy; Foujita came from Japan. In black-and-white photos you'll also find Rousseau, Matisse, Chagall, Modigliani, Soutine, Picasso, Man Ray, Giacometti, and their apartments, studios, and favorite cafés. Vintage photographs of Montparnasse, juxtaposed with the more than 150 color illustrations of the artworks created, evokes the sense of nostalgia that still permeates the area.
