This book is the first of any importance devoted to this group of young artists from Paris in the 1920s, who were the only ones at the time to try to go beyond what had become fixed in abstract art by pursuing a new form of figurative painting. The works of Christian Bérard, Pavel Tchelitchew, Eugène, and Léonide Berman—who also included drawings for theater, opera, and ballet—were admired by Gertrude Stein, George Balanchine, Edith Sitwell, and Christian Dior, among others. The group's often nostalgic oeuvre, presented by Patrick Mauriès in this richly illustrated book, is a true discovery for today's audience.
