The legendary Bateau-Lavoir, located on Place Émile-Goudeau, a stone's throw from the current Musée de Montmartre, became, at the beginning of the 20th century, the cradle of modern art where Picasso, Braque, Derain, Vlaminck, Matisse, Apollinaire, Max Jacob, Otto van Rees and many others met and exchanged ideas in an independent spirit. Kees van Dongen moved there at the end of 1905, probably at the invitation of Picasso, who had been living there since April 1904, in Paco Durio's former studio. He remained there until the beginning of 1907. This fascinating book shows how Kees van Dongen's short stay at the Bateau-Lavoir was decisive for the development of his career. Several key works presented illustrate the key moments of this period.
