Paris. The Crazy Years
Description
I will live as I choose is a motto that sums up the spirit of licentious 1920s Paris among native Parisians, emigres from across Europe, and American expatriates alike. During Les Annees Folles-The Crazy Years-Paris pulsated with energy, eccentricity, and uninhibited expression in sex, art, music, and literature. In this program, authors Amanda Vaill (Everybody Was So Young), Tyler Stovall (Paris Noir: African Americans in the City of Light), Julie Martin and Billy Kluver (Kiki's Paris), Jean-Claude Baker (Josephine), and others bring interwar Paris back to life through depictions of some of the colorful people who made both Montparnasse and Montmartre the chic places to be: Salvador Dali, Ernest Hemingway, Man Ray, Kiki, Harry and Caresse Crosby, Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, Natalie Barney, John Glasgow, Josephine Baker, and Cole Porter.
