This book, written by an Englishman who lived in Montmartre for 30 years and knew its famous habitue intimately, gives a vivid description. It reveals the truth behind the many legends, is packed with authentic stories about writers and painters whose names are now household words, and contains much hitherto unpublished information about the life and career of Modigliani obtained from his family and friends. Much of the text was written in Montmartre amid the scenes described, and after personal consultation with survivors of the great days when Frede presided over the Lapin Agile and Libion, patron of the Cafe de la Rotonde, was beginning to rival him in Montparnasse. It is the most complete account which has yet been written in English of the birth of Cubism and other contemporary movements in modern painting, and of the lives and loves who started them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Douglas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1843681536\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781843681533\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pallas Athene\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 1.30d","brand":"Charles Douglas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44201955131647,"sku":"9781843681533","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5722a732-52b4-46e5-8571-daaa49bc527a.jpg?v=1691492391","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/artist-quarter-charles-douglas-9781843681533","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
