My Take

Kiki de Montparnasse is one of those figures who seems almost too vivid to have been real — and yet she absolutely was. Born Alice Prin in a small Burgundy town in 1901, she showed up in Paris essentially penniless and somehow became the beating heart of the entire Montparnasse scene in the 1920s. She modeled for Man Ray, Modigliani, Foujita, and a who's-who of the avant-garde, sang raucous chansons at the Jockey Club, painted canvases of her own, and wrote memoirs that Ernest Hemingway called the real thing. She wasn't just a muse — she was an artist, a performer, a force of personality who shaped the culture around her rather than simply decorating it. Fifty-one years was nowhere near enough, but what a fifty-one years it was.

Overview

Alice Ernestine Prin (2 October 1901 – 29 April 1953), nicknamed the Queen of Montparnasse and often known as Kiki de Montparnasse, was a French model, chanteuse, memoirist and painter during the Jazz Age. She flourished in, and helped define, the liberated culture of Paris in the so-called Années folles ("crazy years" in French).
