Drawn by the presence of such avant-garde figures as Joyce and Picasso, artists and writers fled the Prohibition in the United States and revolution in Russia to head for the free-wheeling scene in Paris, where they made contact with rivals, collaborators, and a sophisticated audience of collectors and patrons. The outpouring of boundary-pushing novels, paintings, ballets, music, and design was so profuse that it belies the brevity of the era (1918-1929). Drawing on unpublished albums, drawings, paintings, and manuscripts, Charles A. Riley offers a fresh examination of both canonic and overlooked writers and artists and their works, by revealing them in conversation with one another. He illuminates social interconnections and artistic collaborations among the most famous-Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Gershwin, Archibald Motley Jr., and Langston Hughes, and women such as Gertrude Stein and Nancy Cunard. 650 0 $a Arts, French $z Paris $z Paris $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Avant-garde (Aesthetics) $z Paris $z Paris $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Artists $x History $z Paris $z Paris $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Paris (France) $x Intellectual life $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Artists $x Professional relationships. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00817611 650 7 $a Arts, French. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00818019 650 7 $a Avant-garde (Aesthetics) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00824280 650 7 $a Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975769 651 7 $a France $z Paris. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205283 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Riley, Charles A. $t Free as gods. $d Hanover : ForeEdge, An imprint of University Press of New England, 2017 $z 9781512600551 $w (DLC) 2016050627 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213020333.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170907010811.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=11A18E30621111E7BC2B04C5DAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
