Following a whirlwind romance, they marry and fall headlong into a Paris that is experimenting with new forms of living, thinking, and creating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSoon after marrying Francis, Gabriële meets Marcel, another young artist, five years her junior. Soon, Francis, Marcel, and Gabriële are all three involved in a fervent affair that will change the course of art history and redefine the avant-garde. Surrealism, Dada, and Abstraction are among the new artistic practices and new ideas that emerge from this electric love triangle in the following decade, during which the Belle Epoque sours and the world descends into the devastation of World War I.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrancis Picabia, Marcel Duchamp, and Gabriele Buffet—the protagonists of this brilliantly imagined \"true novel\"—are vividly reimagined by the Berests. Moving between Paris, New York, Berlin, Zurich, Barcelona, and Saint-Tropez, \u003ci\u003eGabriële\u003c\/i\u003e is as audacious, uninhibited, and unforgettable as its central character, the mercurial, pioneering Gabriële Buffet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470731395308,"sku":"9781787705692","price":45.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781787705692-gabriele.jpg?v=1775224292","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/gabriele-by-claire-berest-9781787705692","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
