A review by rachelrayhab
In Montmartre: Picasso, Matisse and the Birth of Modernist Art by Sue Roe

3.0

I overall enjoyed this read.. it provided a good context for the time period and the scene going on in Montmartre. However, I felt it was flat quite often probably due to the jumping back and forth between people and names. In retrospect, I got used to it and the unfamiliar names finally caught up and provides more background to the artists’ stories. Still, I was hoping for more in-depth insight into the artists and more pictures to see their works. I will definitely use the information gleaned from this book to go on and read more in-depth about some of the artists.
