This brilliant blend of history, biography, and criticism explores the seminal figures of twentieth-century French art?Matisse, Picasso, Derain, Léger, Dufy, Braque, Giacometti, Balthus, and Hélion?and the vital art world in which they thrived. The ten interlocking essays in this important book include radical new evaluations of Derain, Léger, and Dufy, and penetrating studies of the final works of Picasso and Braque. Paris Without End, Jed Perl's first book, is now celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary and is essential reading for anyone passionate about modern art.>
