Paris Between the Wars. Art, Style and Glamour in the Crazy Years

The city was ablaze with bright lights and the sound of jazz, and the ideas and fashions born there spread across the world, attracting a host of international artists, writers and performers to come and share the excitement of the period that the French called les années folles – the crazy years.
Bohemian Montparnasse, with its cafés, bars and studios, was a hub of creative energy. Cubism, Surrealism and Dada turned Paris into the home of the avant-garde, and Picasso and Matisse were just two of the leading lights in a scene that included Chagall, Giacometti, Léger, Miró and Calder.
