Discover the work and life of artist Bernard Boutet de Monvel, a groundbreaking painter of the café society and dandies who was highly influential to the Art Deco movement.
Bernard Boutet de Monvel (1881-1949), painter of sportsmen and dandies, was also an interior designer and iconic illustrator of masculine elegance for publications including Harper's Bazaar and the Gazette du Bon Ton. After being decorated as an aviation hero for his service in World War-I, he spent time in Morocco, where he acquired a thoroughly modern vision.
As early as 1909, he heralded the Art Deco style, and from 1926 he became the favored portraitist of the American Café Society, whose sophisticated members avidly collected the paintings of this dandy who was heralded as "the handsomest man in Europe" by the American press.
The crème de la crème of international millionaires paraded through his studios in New York and Palm Beach-from H.H. the Maharaja of Indore to W. K. Vanderbilt, from Elsie de Wolfe (Lady Mendl) to Millicent Rogers, and from the Astor, Whitney, Frick, and Du Pont dynasties. Bernard Boutet de Monvel, who also became a key Precisionism artist, reflected the industrial and urban modernity of America's Machine Age in his stunning landscapes.
Richly illustrated with previously unpublished documents and photographs, this important monograph sheds new light on the protean work of Bernard Boutet de Monvel, restoring his place at the forefront of the history of French and American art.

"[Bernard Boutet de Monvel] displayed multiple artistic gifts - as painter, engraver, sculptor and fashion illustrator for Harper's Bazaar and Vogue , as well as interior decorator . . .

- Sotheby's Magazine
"Boutet de Monvel painted all the top people in high society, in all their perfection. In doing so, he created some of the most perfect likenesses of the 20th century . The Maharaja of Indore, immaculate in white tie and tails, is his masterpiece, but he was capable of painting and drawing anyone in fine feathers, male or female. He has been largely neglected as most of his work is cloistered away in the family homes and vaults of his sitters, and that is why t his book is so valuable in that it shows us work not seen for years, work that immortalised the perfect craftsmanship of the tailors and dressmakers who made sure that the upper crust were always perfectly clothed for their portraits, as they were for their lives of grand balls and cafe society . This book brings the era of Art Deco vividly to life in a way different to any other."
