Prin, Alice. [Kiki de Montparnasse.] (1901–1953) [Ray, Man. (1890–1976)]. Kiki Souvenirs - Signed and Inscribed with Self-Portrait Drawing. Paris: Henri Broca. 1929.
Signed and inscribed on the first free endpaper with a drawing by Kiki, "a Sven Thempthander en souvernir de nos folles nuits... ta cheri Kiki de Montparnasse, 25 Juin 1930". Small 4to (23 x 18 cm.). Illustrated with 10 reproductions of photographs by Man Ray and with many reproductions of paintings and drawings. With preface by Foujita. Wrappers with a mounted reproduction, worn, partly soiled and stained, upper wrapper partly detached and with repaired tear, spine repaired, corners bumped. Overall very good.

Alice Ernestine Prin (1901–1953), nicknamed Kiki the Queen of Montparnasse, was an artist's model, nightclub singer, painter and artist. Flourishing in 1920's Paris, she helped define the liberated culture of the era. As an artist's model, she posed for painters including Jean Cocteau, Alexander Calder, and Man Ray, who made hundreds of portraits of her and was her companion for many years. Most famously, she appears with a violin's f-holes superimposed on her bare back in his image Le violon d'Ingres. As an artist in her own right, she created paintings and drawings in a light, expressionist style. Her autobiography, Kiki's Memoirs, published in 1929, was immediately banned in the United States but nevertheless found many international readers.
