The cross-fertilization of painting, writing, music and dance produced a panorama of activity characterized by the early works of Picasso, Braque, Matisse, Derain, Vlaminck and Modigliani, the appearance of the Ballet Russe and the salons of Gertrude Stein.In In Montmartre, Sue Roe vividly brings to life the bohemian world of art in Paris between 1900-1910.
