Henry Caro-Delvaille Peintre De La Belle Époque, De Paris À New York

A painter of the Belle Époque, Henry Caro-Delvaille (1876-1928) was active in the 1900s in Paris, where he initially devoted himself to intimate scenes and portraits, before quickly becoming one of the proponents of the revival of decorative fresco. He emigrated to the United States in 1913 and settled permanently in New York, moving towards an Art Deco style. He was a central figure in artistic, literary and musical circles on both sides of the Atlantic, from Paris to New York.

This book, the first on the artist since 1910, is the result of twenty years of research. With more than one hundred and twenty paintings reproduced - most for the first time - it offers a renewed knowledge of Caro-Delvaille's work and is accompanied by unpublished interviews with Claude Lévi-Strauss, the artist's nephew.
