Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Portrays the cultural bohemia of turn-of-the-century Paris who carried the arts into a period of renewal and accomplishment, who laid the ground-work for Dadaism and Surrealism.

From the Publisher
"A sweeping portrait of an era." --Justin O' Brien

"...a fascinating and often brilliant account..."--Alfred Kazin

"...I am full of admiration for a book which searches very deeply into the social and philosophic foundations of modern art, and presents a theory that is at once comprehensive and convincing."--Herbert Read, The London Magazine
