Montparnasse : Quand Paris Éclairait Le Monde

At the beginning of the 20th century, all the boulevards of the world converged on Montparnasse, drawing artists from a thousand different backgrounds: artists from Central Europe who had fled the pogroms, Americans, Japanese or Italians attracted by France. These sons of exile set down their suitcases near the Vavin crossroads where a common language was expressed: creation.

This unique book tells the extraordinary story of this singular moment in history when this district of Paris became the world capital of art.
