“[A] tour de force . . . As one critic’s demonstration of what he considers the best in art and the best way to write about it, this book sets a high standard” (Roberta Smith).
 
This brilliant blend of history, biography, and criticism explores the seminal figures of twentieth-century French art—Matisse, Picasso, Derain, Léger, Dufy, Braque, Giacometti, Balthus, and Hélion—and the vital art world in which they thrived.
 
The ten interlocking essays in this important book include radical new evaluations of Derain, Léger, and Dufy, and penetrating studies of the final works of Picasso and Braque. Paris Without End, first published over twenty-five years ago, remains essential reading for anyone passionate about modern art.
 
As Hilton Kramer noted, “Everyone who cares about the art of the twentieth century will find something to disagree with in this book . . . But that, in my view, is a mark of the book’s importance.”
 
“[Jed Perl] may be the finest American critic at work today in any field.” —The Atlantic
