Renée Kisling
circa 1928
Moïse Kisling, a Polish-born painter who became a star of the Parisian bohemian scene, created this intimate portrait of his wife, Renée, around 1928. You can instantly spot the heavy influence of his close friend Amedeo Modigliani in her elongated neck and those large, soulful eyes that seem to gaze past the viewer. Her short, reddish bob and bold pearl necklace perfectly capture the 'flapper' chic of the era, freezing a moment of the vibrant 'Années Folles' (Crazy Years) in time. It’s a stylish snapshot of a muse who lived life as colorfully as the paintings she inspired.
