Artists and intellectuals from around the globe descended on Paris between 1890 and 1950, and because of their innovations, the direction of art was changed forever. This book presents biographies and 375 color images of paintings by more than 150 artists, most of them completely overlooked by scholars and art historians. They painted the populace in bars, jazz clubs, and cabarets, portraits, nudes, and scenes of their studios. The book offers insight into their paintings, which can still be acquired at equitable prices.
