Rieder (curator at The Metropolitan Museum of Art) provides an intimate glimpse of the fashionable and fascinating life expatriot artist Walter Gay and his outspoken wife, Matilda, led in France at the turn of the century. Weaving Matilda's perceptive, witty comments and Walter's stylish pictures together with descriptions of their friends and family, he reveals a world that virtually disappeared during World War I, where refinement, taste and good manners were considered as important as money, talent and intelligence. The story, much of which is told in the Gays' own words, is illustrated by Walter's interior views, many of which have never been published. Contains 128 illustrations, 55 of which are in color.
