Paris 1928 - Episode 2/3
First broadcast: Aug 2014.
Dr James Fox tells the story of Paris in 1928. It was a city that attracted people dreaming of a better world after World War I. This was the year when the surrealists Magritte, Dali and Bunuel brought their bizarre new vision to the people, and when emigre writers and musicians such as Ernest Hemingway and George Gershwin came looking for inspiration.
Paris in 1928 was where black musicians and dancers like Josephine Baker found adulation, where Cole Porter took time off from partying to write Let's Do It, and where radical architect Le Corbusier planned a modernist utopia that involved pulling down much of Paris itself.
This man is the James Bond of Art History. Thank you for letting us see the world through your eyes.
"Dali has just been kicked out of art school." haha, there is an absurd start of the story right there.
Great Doc really. Thanks for uploading!
🚬 Thank You!
11.40 reminds me the drawings of Enki Bilal. Or am I wrong.??
What a weird explanation of Magritte... His work doesn't bring out the internal world, it uses juxtaposition to make us question the outside world. And besides, Magritte's paintings sold pretty well, he lived off of them
Yes, but where is the art?
