EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the enigmatic figure of Kiki of Montparnasse (1901-1953), the legendary muse and icon of the Parisian artistic and bohemian scene, surrounded by two of her friends in a lively cabaret club. The image, dating back to the 1930s, exudes an air of decadence and hedonistic pleasure as the trio revels in the vibrant nightlife of Paris. Kiki, whose real name was Alice Ernestine Prin, was a multifaceted and intriguing character. She was an artists' model, nightclub singer, actress, and painter, and was often referred to as the 'Queen of Montparnasse.' Her striking appearance, with her cropped hair and androgynous features, made her a muse for many artists, including Man Ray, Pablo Picasso, and Henri Cartier-Bresson. The photograph finds Kiki and her companions in the midst of an evening out, their faces animated with laughter and the thrill of the moment. The setting, a dimly lit cabaret club, is filled with the sounds of jazz music and the clinking of champagne glasses. One friend raises a bucket filled with the golden liquid, ready to pour its contents into the glasses of the other two. The friends' outfits, with their glamorous dresses and elegant accessories, add to the sense of fun and enjoyment. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich and complex world of Kiki and her circle, a world of artistic expression, creative freedom, and unapologetic pleasure-seeking. It is a reminder of a bygone era, a time when Paris was synonymous with decadence and the pursuit of leisure and enjoyment.
