Christian Bérard: Eccentric Modernist

By Pierre Passebon, Jerome Hanover, Célia Bernasconi

A groundbreaking monograph on one of the most versatile artists of the twentieth century.

Christian B?rard worked freely in many artistic circles and fields as a painter, designer of theater and film sets and costumes, fashion designer, interior designer, masterful draftsman, and colorist. His iconic drawings epitomized the Paris fashion world and graced the covers of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and Women's Wear Daily in the 1920s and 1930s. Tracing his eccentric and colorful life of encounters and artistic partnerships with the greatest creatives of his time--Jean-Michel Frank, Christian Dior, Gabrielle Chanel, Jean Cocteau, Boris Kochno--this book includes more than two hundred of his paintings, drawings, photographs, intimate correspondences, and interior decorations, along with portraits of B?rard by Cartier-Bresson, Horst, and Schall.
