The French Riviera was the center of creativity during the 1920s and early ’30s.

A photobiography of this carefree era, The French Riviera in the 1920s revitalizes the now-legendary tale of these mythic personalities caught between a desire for creation, the quest for happiness, and the looming darkness of World War II. With extraordinary images taken from personal archives, these pages depict firsthand the lifestyles and artwork of some of the most influential artists o f the 20th century.

Athens Riviera
Icon Icon Opinion
This book is as sublime as the place it deals with. It is an illustrated forecast of the glamour and hedonism that the city of Athens praises to the skies!
A selection of places, beautiful hotels and very stylish fashion pictures — this book is about life in Athens as it wants you to experience it by yourself.

Overlooking the Aegean Sea, a charming string of coastal neighborhoods form the Athens Riviera, a serene escape from the constant activity in the city’s center. A selection of high-end hotels lines the pristine stretch of beaches down to the southernmost point of the Attica Peninsula. The revamped Four Seasons Astir Palace, with a history of housing foreign dignitaries and film stars of the 1960s, is the most luxurious hotel in Athens, perhaps even in all of Greece. The night club, Island, is bringing back the glamour and excitement of the twentieth century bouzouki clubs reminiscent of names such as Melina Mercouri and Stavros Niarchos.
Athens is experiencing a revival—in art, night life and design. For a metropolis constantly associated with the past, the modern strides in development and culture are sometimes overlooked in favor of the ruins and artifacts from antiquity. When in fact, the juxtaposition only enhances the beauty of both. Athens Riviera puts the old-world beside the new-world and a deeper understanding of this ancient capital emerges. With one foot in the past and one foot in the future; access to both the electricity of city life and the tranquility of a beach side resort, Athens cannot be defined in simple terms. One just has to experience it for themselves.

Riviera Cocktail
Icon-Icon Opinion :
An illustrated story on the golden age of the French Riviera in the 1950s — rock-and-roll and bikinis, existentialism and the knockout BB... Edward Quinn tells the story of a playground frequented by the jet set and legendary actors and actresses — at a time when the French Riviera was the place of daily celebrations. A fascinating chronicle that relates a little-known part of the story of a very glamour lifestyle!
Author : Edward Quinn
Publishing House : teNeues
Publication Date : 2011
No photographer has delivered such exhaustive, lucid and so subtly ironic testimony to the social and cultural life of the "Golden Fifties" on the Côte d'Azur as the Irishman Edward Quinn (1920-1997). Movie stars and artists, jazz musicians and songwriters, aristocrats, shipowners, directors, politicians, pin-ups and men of letters: these were the characters who vied for the spotlight on the French Riviera in Quinn's time. The photographer evolves with malice and charm in this universe of glitter, and casts a unique glance at him. Quinn never exhibits or compromises, but always lets the viewer glimpse the intimate: a Brigitte Bardot as young as unknown, Aristotle Onassis and Maria Callas leaving a night club, Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier at their first meeting, Audrey Hepburn at the start of her career, Sophia Loren in her suite at the Carlton. Pablo Picasso did not let any other photographer come so close to his private world. A long friendship bound him to Edward Quinn until the end of his life. Rejoice: a very special photographic cocktail awaits you.
