Los Angeles Paris Meetup Group

We have a SPECIAL guest today, at this guided tour of some of the best artists that Paris has known.

Today, Kiki de Montparnasse will be your guide!
Kiki was the model and muse of many famous artists of Paris during the roaring 20s (that's 1920's!) She inspired a lot of the artists by not only posing for them, but also was the central social figure between surrealists, poets, writers, and artists alike. Everyone wanted to hang out with Kiki! Although she does not personally appear in the paintings at this museum, Kiki was a major figure of the Paris of 1920-1930, she was a painter in her own right, having had one solo exhibit of her own in Paris before she died.

Today, Kiki will be time-traveling to Norton Simon, from 1925 Paris, France, and will lead us in a storytelling and mini art history session, as she illuminates some of the famous paintings like the ones by Modigliani and Picasso. If inspired, she might even sing us a song or two (en Français!)
