Modern Taste: Art Deco in Paris 1910-1935

"Simone Kahn," Man Ray's 1926 portrait of Surrealist muse and first wife to Andre Breton, is reproduced from Modern Taste: Art Deco in Paris 1910-1935, Fondacion Juan March's glorious survey of more than 400 impeccably chosen examples of period painting, sculpture, furniture design, fashion, jewelry, film, architecture, glassware, ceramics, photography, drawings, advertisements and more. The portrait is one of many that Ray produced for the fashion industry, mixing utopian avant-garde aesthetics with ornamental modern style. Other equally compelling portraits include novelist Marjorie Seabrook wearing a silver collar, heiress Nancy Cunard in dozens of bangle bracelets, model and muse Kiki de Montparnasse with iconic African mask and designer Coco Chanel with pearls and cigarette.
