Paris Was a Woman is an illustrated collective portrait of the unique community of women who became known as the "women of the left bank". Authors Colette, Djuna Barnes, and Gertrude Stein, poets H.D. and Natalie Clifford Barney, painters Romaine Brooks and Marie Laurencin, editors Bryher, Alice Toklas, Margaret Anderson, and Jane Heap, photographers Berenice Abbott and Gisele Freund, booksellers Sylvia Beach and Adrienne Monnier, and journalist Janet Flanner all figured in this legendary milieu. A wealth of photographs, paintings, drawings, and literary fragments, many previously unpublished, combine with Andrea Weiss's lively and revealing text to give an unparalleled insight into this extraordinary network of women for whom Paris was neither mistress nor muse, but a different kind of woman.

Berenice Abbott en 1925 photographiait ses premiers portraits sur le balcon du studio de Man Ray à Paris. Soixante-cinq ans plus tard, en 1990, elle prenait son dernier portrait dans un bateau sur le lac d'Hebron dans le Maine, à quelques centaines de mètres du chalet dans lequel elle a passé ses dernières années. Abbott réalisait généralement ses portraits parisiens dans son propre studio, d'abord 44, rue du Bac, puis 18, rue Servandoni, mais aussi parfois sur place, au domicile du client, comme son premier portrait de James Joyce. En juin 1926, Jan Sliwinski exposa dans sa galerie des photographies de James Joyce, Jean Cocteau, Sylvia Beach, Marie Laurencin ou André Gide parmi tant d'autres. Les hommes et les femmes photographiés par Berenice Abbott étaient liés - socialement, intellectuellement, artistiquement ou sentimentalement. Elle ne photographiait pas des inconnus, à la différence d'Atget, qu'elle contribua à sortir de l'ombre. Ce livre, conçu par Hank O'Neal, regroupe plus de cent portraits, dont la plupart sont inédits. Les plaques de verre brutes, telles qu'elles sortaient de sa chambre noire, sont présentées avec le recadrage qu'elle souhaitait. Portraits parisiens est un livre rare au service d'une photographe essentielle dans l'art du portrait, de l'architecture ou de la photographie scientifique.

In 1906, Harriet Levy was talked into moving to Paris by her friend Alice B. Toklas and suddenly found herself immersed in a strange world peopled by artists who spoke a language she could not understand--a colorful world that she could only remotely observe in black and white. Paris Portraits is a short masterpiece. This sparkling manuscript, long hidden in the archives of the University of California's Bancroft Library, brings to life a vibrant and mythic time and place. Through Harriet's eyes, we circulate among the artists and patrons in the salons of Gertrude and Sarah Stein, overhear conversations between the up-and-coming Matisse and his students, and see Gertrude Stein's reaction when she learns of Picasso putting his hand on Toklas's knee. We're present when, while reading the poetry of Tagore, Harriet looks up and for the first time, sees--really sees and understands with the heart--what Matisse is doing.

This book captures every aspect of Paris and its inhabitants: urban acrobats take to the streets, a sandaled nun crosses the capital on a city bike, extravagant partygoers strike memorable silhouettes during gay pride, children frolic in city fountains on a steamy summer day, and aging friends enjoy an aperitif at Les Deux Magots. The Parisian landscape is illuminated through photographs of the snow-covered Canal Saint-Martin at night, the Ferris wheel at the Place de la Concorde, a balloon launch at the July Column, and a Bastille Day aerial parade of military planes leaving ribbons of blue, white, and red smoke in their wake. Rare glimpses behind the scenes include a table set for intimate dining in the Salon des Ambassadeurs at the presidential Élysée Palace, the empty stage at the Opéra Comique, and a taxidermist at work at the natural history museum. From amateur fashionistas strutting their stuff to tourists posing with masterpieces in the Louvre to miniature dogs in miniature coats, this is an authentic portrait of Paris today.
