Kiki

Born into a modest background in Châtillon-sur-Seine, Alice Ernestine Prin moved to Paris in her adolescence and quickly became a well-known personality in the artistic Montparnasse of the 1920s.

A muse and model for Kisling, Foujita, Soutine, Mendjisky, Gargallo, and Man Ray, she embodied the creative effervescence of a generation.

Her immortalization in Le Violon d’Ingres by Man Ray (1924) propelled her to the status of a universal icon of Surrealism.
