Bernard Boutet De Monvel

Auteur(s) : Stéphane-Jacques Addade

A painter, portraitist, and illustrator, Bernard Boutet de Monvel (1881-1949) immortalized the glamorous figures of the Café Society in Paris, New York, Newport, and Palm Beach. Elegant and seductive, he was a dandy who moved in the highest echelons of society, socializing with Maharajahs and captains of industry. He left a body of work that revealed him as a master of geometry and modernity, the painter par excellence of the Art Deco style. He is best known for his striking and realistic oil portraits of high profile figures, including Elsie de Wolfe, the Maharaja of Indore, William K. and Gertrude Vanderbilt, the Marquis de Cuevas, Mary Millicent Rogers...
Including unpublished documents and photographs, this monograph traces Boutet de Monvel's fascinating career and restores his prime position in the French and American history of art.
