Man Ray

Artist’s model, painter, nightclub singer. She was nicknamed The Queen of Montparnasse. Photographed, painted and sculpted. Lover of Man Ray. She was a true muse. You can read more about her here.

I would highly recommend ‘Paris in the 1920’s’,  it’s the most beautiful book, published by Assouline. It has glorious images that show Kiki and the artist’s who she worked with. It’s a gem of a book. One of my favourites. See it here.
