French Riviera and Its Artists: Art, Literature, Love, and Life on the Cote D'Azur
Author(s): John Baxter
Get swept up in the glitz and glamour of the French Riviera as author John Baxter takes readers tour through the star-studded cultural history of the Cote D'Azur. Learn about where Cezanne painted side by side with Renoir the views that inspired Matisse, the rich Riviera colors that changed Chagall's work where Picasso lived with his many loves, the decadent lifestyle portrayed in the novels of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Graham Greened and W. Somerset Maugham, how Coco chanel's suntan became the fashion, and when Brigitte Bardot made her famous debut. They all were drawn to the climate, color, light, and culture-and that je ne sais quoi that kept them coming back. Book jacket.
