After Un voyage en Russie, published in 2017, Vincent Perez takes us on a new journey to the heart of Montparnasse in the Roaring Twenties. Following in the footsteps of Irving Penn and Richard Avedon, this book of analogue photographs, devoted entirely to the nude, pays tribute to the artists and models of the Grande Chaumière, the iconic site of the École de Paris where Bathus, Joan Miró, Louise Bourgeois, and so many others learned to break free from the academic shackles of the Beaux-Arts. Soaking up the light and history of this unique place, Vincent Perez captures its essence and brings to life some of its iconic figures, such as Kiki de Montparnasse. Through his lens, the models become living tableaux, offering moments of grace where photography and painting come together.
