Profiles of eighty-eight influential artists, designers, photographers, architects, writers, and personalities--including Gabrielle Chanel, Eileen Gray, Jean Prouvé, Pablo Picasso, Tamara de Lempicka, Sonia and Robert Delaunay, Brassaï, Man Ray, Robert Mallet-Stevens, Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier, Adolf Loos, Walter Benjamin, Josephine Baker, Jean Renoir, Gertrude Stein, and more--highlight the boundless creative energy and optimism that permeated the City of Light at this key historical juncture. Richly illustrated alphabetical entries with cross-references to related topics are complemented by six thematic essays on cinema, fashion, graphic design, habitation, painting, and urban planning. A portfolio of original contemporary photographs--from the historic center to the suburbs of Paris--reveals traces of modernism in dozens of buildings and their interiors that are rarely open to the public. This catalog--published to accompany an exhibition at the Power Station of Art in Shanghai in summer 2023--sketches a panorama of human invention across the vast creative landscape of Paris from 1914 to 1945.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean-Louis Cohen, Guillemette Morel Journel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 2080421948\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782080421944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Flammarion-Pere Castor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.03w x 1.42d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2023 pg. 19","brand":"Jean-Louis Cohen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44201812689151,"sku":"9782080421944","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_88d89412-eb8c-4d88-b394-b621eccfbd59.jpg?v=1691491558","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/paris-moderne-jean-louis-cohen-9782080421944","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
