Kiki dominated the era of Montparnasse more than Queen Victoria ever dominated the Victorian era' ERNEST HEMINGWAYThough many have never heard her name, Kiki de Montparnasse was the 'it' girl of Paris between the wars. She was a painter, a ground-breaking performer -- whose cabarets and art shows were always sold out -- and a bestselling memoirist. She was also the lover and the muse of a little-known American photographer, Man Ray.In Kiki Man Ray, Mark Braude explores how this genius of 1920s Paris came to be forgotten. Following Kiki in the years between 1921 and 1929, when she lived and worked with Man Ray in Paris, this is the story of their turbulent love affair and how, while Man Ray went on to become one of the most famous photographers of the twentieth century, Kiki's legacy was lost . . . until now.
