In Part One we explored Kiki's beginnings her childhood in the countryside, her move to Paris, and her introduction to the creative circles of Monparnasse. We then explored her early days as an artist’s model, some of the many portraits of Kiki from this time, her relationship with Maurice Mendjisky, and of course the start of her relationship with Man Ray. In Part Two, we finish Kiki's incredulous life story and honor her legacy as the talented, forward-thinking, endlessly creative, and spirited woman she was. A woman who was never afraid to live her life as she pleased and dance to the beat of her own drum. A woman who rose from impoverished beginnings and created her own story. A woman who not only understood the power of her own image, but what it meant to take agency over it for herself.
