In this special episode from our ArtMuse ArtTalks series, host Grace Anna is joined by the author Mark Braude, who wrote "Kiki Man Ray: Art, Love and Rivalry in 1920’s Paris", a gorgeously written biography on the fabulous Kiki de Montparnasse. Throughout the course of the interview, Grace Anna asks Mark about Kiki’s life, what inspired him to write his biography on her, Kiki's relationship with Man Ray, Kiki’s success as an artist across many mediums, and finally, the importance of honoring Kiki’s legacy today.

If you have not yet listened to ArtMuse’s Two Part Episode on Kiki de Montparnasse, which deep dives into Kiki’s life, we encourage you to listen as an accompanying episode to this interview.

ArtMuse ArtTalks: Host Grace Anna Interviews Author & PodcasterJennifer Dasal

ArtMuse is a podcast that shares the life stories of the women pictured in famous works of art. In doing so, host Grace Anna aims to reshape the ways in which we interpret these well-known works, by paying dues to the women whose images have been immortalized but whose names and stories have been wrongfully overlooked. Each episode focuses our attention on a specific female muse, sharing their important life and legacy.

ArtMuse is produced by Kula Production Company.
