DESCRIPTION:Please join the upcoming French-Speaking Worlds: Then and Now t
 alk with author Mark Braude.\n\nKiki Man Ray\, Art\, Love\, and Rivalry in
  1920s Paris\n\nAbstract: Alice Prin (1901-1953)\, better known as Kiki de
  Montparnasse\, is remembered chiefly for having posed for many now-iconic
  artists in 1920s Paris\, especially the photographer Man Ray\, with whom 
 she lived for most of that decade. This talk highlights the ways in which 
 Kiki may have been the more influential figure in post-WWI Montparnasse\, 
 not only as a model and so-called muse but as a performer\, actor\, painte
 r\, and writer. Chronicling Kiki and Man Ray’s professional and personal
  connections allows us to question what it means to be an “artist” and
  a “model/muse” and to blur the lines separating these two descriptors
 .\n\nBio: MARK BRAUDE is the author of Kiki Man Ray\, The Invisible Empero
