Gropper Became A Good Friend Of Eastman And Worked As An Illustrator For Him. Max Forrester Eastman Was An American Writer On Literature, Philosophy And Society; A Poet, And A Prominent Political Activist. Moving To New York City For Graduate School, Eastman Became Involved With Liberal And Radical Circles In Greenwich Village. He Supported Socialism And Became A Leading Patron Of The Harlem Renaissance, And An Activist For A Number Of Liberal And Radical Causes. For Several Years, He Edited The Masses. With His Sister Crystal Eastman, In 1917 He Co-Founded The Liberator, A Radical Magazine Of Politics And The Arts. In Later Life, However, Eastman Changed His Views, Becoming Highly Critical Of Socialism And Communism After His Experiences During A Nearly Two-Year Stay In The Soviet Union In The 1920S, As Well As Later Studies.

"In the years between the two world wars, Montparnasse, on the Left Bank of Paris, was a hotbed of artistic experimentation, social change, and notorious affairs. Man Ray, the renowned photographer, was there to document it all: he took his camera into cafes, salons, artists' studios, and writers' homes, and the resulting pictures provide a singular - and intimate - perspective on this legendary period in cultural and art history. Well-known cultural and social historian Herbert R. Lottman interweaves Man Ray's biography, filled with intriguing stories of artists, models, dealers, poets, and hangers-on, with his stunning black-and-white images of everyone from Picasso, Duchamp, Dal , and Gertrude Stein to the famed model Kiki, poet Andr Breton, and Marcel Proust on his deathbed. The result is an enthralling view of that remarkable time and place, a subject that has endless appeal. / Herbert R. Lottman has published over a dozen books, including a history of Paris's Left Bank and biographies of Camus, Flaubert, Colette, and Jules Verne, and contributed to many magazines and newspapers. He is international correspondent of the book trade journal Publishers Weekly." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo. Collectible., Harry N. Abrams, Inc., Publishers, 2001, 5<
