Americans in Paris: Artists Working in Postwar France, 1946–1962 delves into the various circles of artists who lived in France following World War II. Featuring new scholarship and illuminating essays, this groundbreaking volume illustrates many of the paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photos, and films produced during these fertile years.
Americans in Paris introduces the story of the American creative community that inhabited the City of Light following World War II. Proposing Paris as decisive for the development of postwar American art, this volume investigates the academies where many of these artists studied, the spaces where their work was exhibited, the aesthetic discourses that animated their conversations, their interactions with European artists, and the overarching issue of what it meant to be an American abroad.

Hardcover. Condición: VG. Light blue photo-illustrated boards with red, white and blue lettering; 300 pp.; richly illustrated. "Long renowned as an artistic mecca, Paris renewed its allure as a cultural capital following the end of World War II by attracting a new wave of expatriates from the United States. Americans in Paris explores this vibrant community of artists, writers, and musicians who lived in the City of Light for a year or more from 1946 to 1962. Many took advantage of a newly enacted GI Bill, which covered tuition and living expenses; others, including many women, financed their own sojourns. Americans in Paris: Artists Working in Postwar France, 1946-1962 is the first major publication to focus on this intensely fertile period. Featuring new scholarship, four illuminating essays, an invaluable chronology, and never-before-published interviews with twenty-five central figures, this groundbreaking volume amply illustrates paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photographs, and films these expats produced. It also provides a counterpoint to the established characterization of New York as the midcentury's ascendant creative center, proposing Paris--and direct encounters with French collections, artists, critics, and gallerists--as a significant factor in the development of postwar American art."-- Back cover.
