Kiki Man Ray: Art, Love, and Rivalry in 1920s Paris by Mark Braude

informative reflective medium-paced

3.5

After reading Man Ray's Self Portrait, I craved more knowledge on Kiki that would do her justice so I was excited to pick this up! It's definitely presented a much more detailed vision on her, both in her relationship with Man Ray but also as an artist and performer in her own right. To back up this final point, I wish there had been more descriptions of her artwork and that more had been included in the photo section so I could get a better sense of her art. I also wish that her life after Man Ray had been more detailed, but I wonder if that is due to less sources and info available? Regardless, I've enjoyed getting a much better understanding of Kiki!
