  1. 1. Kiki De Montparnasse

    A vivid graphic biography follows Alice Prin — the celebrated Kiki of Montparnasse — from a harsh provincial childhood to her rise as the emblematic muse, model, and cabaret performer of 1920s Paris, chronicling her liaisons with avant‑garde artists, her work in iconic photographs, and the heady mix of creativity, sex, and poverty that defined the bohemian quarter; stark, expressive artwork and a concise narrative convey her fierce independence, charismatic presence, and eventual decline while evoking the social and artistic ferment of interwar Montparnasse.
