- Summary:
- O'Neill (art history, Parsons The New School for Design) explains the term "Ecole de Nice" in the introduction as it was used to describe the vibrant and innovative visual arts culture flourishing along the French Riviera during the postwar years. Matisse, Picasso, Chagall, and Cocteau were among the denizens. This study addresses the dynamics and details of that time and place and the factors that made it fertile for creativity. A section of 13 color plates and a number of dispersed b&w illustrations support the text. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
