Very good, in good dust jacket; light wear to jacket, some toning and spotting, slight ruffling to spine ends, small tear to top edge of front panel, larger tear along front fold of jacket, also affecting fore-edge of front board; slight spotting to top edge and endpapers. The memoirs of Kiki de Montparnasse, this being the 1950 edition published by Samuel Roth as Boar's Head Books. Alice Prin, better known as "Kiki", was a bohemian creative, an embodiment of the Parisian culture of the 1920s. She was an artist in her own right, but also a muse and model for Man Ray, Foujita, Moise Kisling and many other artists. The memoirs cover her childhood, her early years, and her life in artistic Montparnasse. The text is accompanied by an introduction by Ernest Hemingway and photographs and illustrations by Kiki, Man Ray, etc. The memoirs were first published in 1929 in French. The English translation, with the Hemingway introduction, was published in 1930 and promptly banned for its explicit content. Samuel Roth took advantage of the fact that copyright laws did not apply to banned books and published this new sensationalist 1950 edition of the memoirs. Beaux Books specialises in fine and rare books on art and culture in the 20th and 21st centuries. We welcome questions about our books and we are happy to provide any extra images. Buy with confidence from an experienced bookseller. 1950. Second edition. First published in French in 1929 and in English in 1930.…
