Description:
The portraits of models by the renowned actor, filmmaker and photographer




Vincent Perez is a distinguished actor, filmmaker, and accomplished photographer. In this book, he immersed himself in an emblematic location of the School of Paris: La Grande Chaumière, an art school that did not teach the strict academic principles of the École des Beaux-Arts but rather encouraged artistic freedom. Many famous 20th-century artists attended this school like Balthus, Miró or Louise Bourgeois, following the teachings of Bourdelle, Léger and many others. Vincent Perez took portraits of models on film using the natural light of the painters' studio as an hommage to the models and painters of the bubbling 1920's Montparnasse like Kiki de Montparnasse and Modigliani.
