In this episode, host Grace Anna shares the story of the model, performer, painter, and memoirist, Alice Prin, better known as Kiki de Montparnasse. Kiki not only blossomed in, but helped define the bohemian subculture burgeoning in Paris in the 1920’s. More specifically, Kiki moved amongst the circles of the Montparnasse district, the neighborhood in which some of the most famous artists of the twentieth century, like Picasso and Modigliani, worked and lived.
