Portrait
[edit]Hello,
It appears that Amadeo Modiliaghni also had something to do, since a painting of his on display at the Museo Thyssen in Madrid may be of Kiki.
- You are probably referring to: Amedeo Modigliani, Head of a Woman (1915) in the collection of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum. I do not agree with the point of view of Paloma Alarcó, it is much more likely that it is a portrait of Jeanne Hébuterne, his lover, common-law wife and frequent model. I have included a photograph and a picture for comparison. It must be said that Kiki was a friend of Tsuguharu Foujita as was Jeanne Hébuterne. The date of Modigliani meeting Jeanne and the date of the portrait would suggest in favour of Kiki, but I do not know how accurate the dates are. JHvW 08:01, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Change Title of Page[edit]Would anyone have any objection to changingg the title of this page from "Alice Prin" to "Kiki de Montparnasse"? She was and is much better know as the latter. However, I am opening to hearing the downside of changing the title. Thanks. WatchCat87 10:00, 3 December 2006 (UTC) two articles might be better for alter egos Two articles might be better. A new one could stress the character Alice Prin invented, Kiki de Montparnasse, since she was most often known as, Kiki, which was the signature she used and is unlikely to be a good choice for a separate article. There were other names used, the queen of Montparnasse, Reine de la Montparnasse, Kiki of Montparnasse, and more. So one would have to determine which would be the best choice. This article, retaining the original title, could discuss her real identity and interesting personal history in more detail. Best to consult with 136.182.158.129, another alter ego who often has strong and rather unyielding opinions about these topics. I think you would have lots of help in building the pages, I know that I would. Without the creation of two articles, I would expect that there are so many references to Alice Prin that it should remain as the title for this article, for the best use of the encyclopedia. 83d40m 22:00, 6 December 2006 (UTC) not an alter ego; the name she was known by But what is her personal history as "Alice Prin"? Everyone knew her as "Kiki de Montparnasse", except the family she knew before she left for Paris as a young teenager. This was, for all intents and purposes, her name. If this wiki article implies otherwise, then the article is wrong. Everyone in the life she made for herself in Paris knew her as "Kiki de Montparnasse"; no one called her "Alice". References about her (in English) call her "Kiki de Montparnasse". See Kluver and Martin, for example. Her birth name is given only cursory mention. The article on the personal history of Alice Prin would be very short: Born in poverty in rural France. Went to Paris and became Kiki de Montparnasse. WatchCat87 21:08, 8 December 2006 (UTC) Kiki is how she identified herself It seems that her contemporaries knew her as, Kiki, which was her own signature on her paintings -- where she used only one name. She named her establishment Chez Kiki -- not, Chez Kiki de Montparnasse. Her memoirs are, Kiki’s Memoirs, not the Memoirs of Kiki de Montparnase. She is one of those people who gained noteriety with a single name, a nickname. She also was alluded to by several playful names and titles that reflected her "persona" in the bohemian milieu of Montparnasse, which is not so unusual among such groups. I am not denying the accuracy of what you say, only pointing out that among all of the names which refer to Kiki, it would be difficult to choose one used more than, Kiki, alone. Kiki alone would make much more sense to me, but is inappropriate here because it is not definitive enough as a title for our article. All information I have seen about her indicates her birth name clearly, which I am sure her children carry also -- so that has to be taken into consideration. References to people with dramatic personae such as hers will always reflect the very unusual and playful names used, it is the nature of documenting the novelty of it. So I think the title is best left as it is in our encyclopedia, with redirects used for all of the others. 83d40m 03:56, 9 December 2006 (UTC) She was known as Kiki de Montparnasse The simple fact is, this person was and is known as Kiki de Monparnasse. This is how she was referred to in her time and now. It is not difficult to choose; it is very straight forward -- everyone who has written about her at any length has made this choice. It was not a "character she created"; it was the name she went by. When I move the page, I intend to indicate her birthname clearly. I do not find your arguments against the move persuasive, or even informed. By the way, she had no children. You would know that if you had done any reading about her. WatchCat87 00:22, 10 December 2006 (UTC) consensus is the typical path at Wikipedia I think you should develop some consensus about such an action rather than making a unilateral decision to rename a long-standing article based on your preference alone. This article has existed since 2002 under this title, that is four years. Your first edit is dated 23 November 2006 -- only a few weeks ago. After all, you raised the question as to whether there would be any objection and now -- having found that there is -- you state that regardless to the objection, you are going to proceed. Hummmm… I suggest that, since only you want a separate article using this nickname, make a new article from scratch using the title you insist upon, rather than dragging the work of many other editors along with your unilateral action. Sounds as if you have lots of material to include in it. 83d40m 03:08, 10 December 2006 (UTC) 538,000 results from Google for Alice Prin That there are 538,000 results presented by Google for Alice Prin, indicates a broad knowledge of that name. This is quite contrary to what watchcat asserts. Seems everybody knows who she was. On the other hand, the results for the other names bring forth lingerie shops, bakeries, clothing lines, and many other uses besides those for Alice Prin. - fv —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.247.254.117 (talk) 20:51, 10 December 2006 (UTC).
Johnbod 21:29, 11 December 2006 (UTC) I get 50,000 Google hits for "Kiki de Montparnasse", only 695 for "Alice Prin" Maybe you get 538,000 for anything containing "Alice" or "Prin", but this is hardly pertinent to this discussion. You will see you get many, many fewer hits for "Alice Prin", and most of the ones you do get consist of the content of the page we are discussing. The reason the are lingerie shops, bakeries, clothing lines, etc., called ""Kiki de Montparnasse" is because they are named after THIS Kiki de Montparnasse. That is the name she is known by. I don't see what is so controversial about using the name her biographers and other reputable sources refer to her by. In answer to Johnbod, there is a redirect at "Kiki de Montparnasse". That's all. By the way, for what it's worth, although I did not start this page, I wrote about half the content that is currently on it, although I wasn't a registered user back then.WatchCat87 17:00, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
-Johnbod 17:26, 14 December 2006 (UTC) nicknames should not replace article titles for people The practice of renaming articles on real people with only a nickname must be considered to be obscuring access to the history that an encyclopedia should provide. A separate article should be created for the alter ego, just as the one for Kiki's Memoirs has been. We are not writing tabloid articles. There is a separate article for Jim Morrison's alter ego that should serve as the example for this debate. The Lizard King article does not replace the article on Jim Morrison even though millions know him as such. Similarly, the article on Alice Prin should not be discarded for a nickname, nor should the article on Janice Joplin be renamed, Pearl or The Rose -- although I would bet that in thirty years there will be plenty of books and articles featuring these nicknames for her just by the nature of needing different names for publications. At some point someone will suggest that, "everyone knew her as... " Wikipedia strives to be a reference tool similar to others -- check your models to see whether they abandon real names for exclusive use of nicknames and affectionate titles. Build a new article and cross reference it to this, just as Kiki's Memoirs is, and stop deleting accurate data from the article just to accommodate your personal preference to rename the article. The article is not your personal property even if you wrote ninety-nine percent of it. 83d40m 03:21, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
WatchCat87 03:52, 17 December 2006 (UTC) I'm in no rush, I'd rather have our article be correct and easy to find. Here is the Time magazine article (noted above) from April 15, 1946 which begins with Alice Prin before shifting to Kiki. This article lends credence to the recognition of her birth name even after the flames of her notoriety quelled. I had difficulty inserting it into the section above and it was left out when I saved my posting. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,886916,00.html I think this will be important in making a decision also. The more I find, the more it seems to me that if the title is going to be changed, it should be, Kiki (Alice Prin) or Alice "Kiki" Prin, in order to get the highest ratings among search engines that are relevant to our article and the easy inquiry for readers. Rutgers Library search identifies her as Alice "Kiki" Prin here, http://www.libraries.rutgers.edu/rul/rr_gateway/research_guides/media_collections/experimental.shtml Found the New York Times obituary of March March 24, 1953 which identifies her as Alice (Kiki) Prin the link is not useful unless you want to pay to see the original but here is the initial link, http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F0071FFE3D59107A93C6AB1788D85F478585F9 . Usually they will allow a preview of the first paragraph, but not in this case. One source cites that in 1929 Kiki was named Queen of Montparnasse another cites that Man Ray continued to use her as a model after he had begun his long relationship with the photographer, Lee Miller, although they may exist, I have not found any photographs of Kiki by Man Ray dated after his new relationship began. One site also states that Kiki was sent to Paris to work, living with her mother -- not for further education as presented in our article. This makes sense given other sources I have seen because they talk of the menial jobs she had after her arrival. 83d40m 17:08, 17 December 2006 (UTC) One additional note for consideration, I just followed the search under her birth name alone and the 690 primary results obtained in Google for Alice Prin are all on target -- clearly for the subject of our article, with all of the irrelevant returns eliminated. The other names and titles appear as well. I believe that seven hundred clean results leading to the exact information sought (and the resulting links from them) is preferable to a million filled with irrelevant data to plow through. The article came up third under all those cumbersome results at Kiki De Montparnasse when the article had the lead I wrote (and was deleted) with all of the other nicknames and titles in the opening paragraph, She had several other titles, Reine de la Montparnasse, Queen of Montparnasse, Kiki de Montparnasse, and other similar nicknames. ... so it remains relevant for all of the names, nicknames, and titles retaining the current title, if we choose to leave it as it has been all this time or add Kiki to it. Right now, I would be inclined to follow the New York Times obituary heading. I sure would like to know what is on her tombstone and see examples of her using Kdm as her signature. By the way, one of the articles indicated that she is buried in a different cemetery than we have in the article. They are all running together in my memory right now, perhaps it was the Tate article (which I agree, is problematic to say the least). 83d40m 18:11, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Johnbod 18:18, 17 December 2006 (UTC) I contacted some native speakers and was told that Kiki is not so vulgar as implied nor did it have the meaning stated in the source, but may be a humorous colloquialism meaning, "to get screwed" and other more explicit terms about being cheated, among many other uses. This one use might not be heard in all polite conversations, but among friends would be slang that was acceptable. Apparently it also is a rather frequent affectionate nickname for either females or males. I was told further, that a renowned French swimmer of international status in the 1960s was named Kiki and that I would find many uses of the nickname. I made a search and found, 2nd French Revolution, The from Swimming World and Junior Swimmer in Sports provided free by ... Christine "Kiki" Caron came closest to snaring gold. ... and In fact, over a career in which Caron won 14 French National Championships within a 7 ...

All of those other uses of Kiki in bakeries, clothing, and such are probably not related to Alice Prin. When I asked my sources if they knew of Kiki of Montparnasse -- they had never heard of her... but they knew the famous swimmer. Of course, they grew up there well after the Second World War and I read that Kiki left Paris when the Germans invaded. So I asked whether they knew who Edith Piaf was, and they did, so it was not that they were unaware of some famous women singers and performers from the first half of the twentieth century. This information inclines me away from a single name title for the article using just, Kiki -- 83d40m 22:01, 17 December 2006 (UTC) by the throat re slang use in the middle of the section above, the larger Robert dictionary says there is a phrase I can't quite remember ("serrer kiki la gorge" perhaps) meaning to seize by the throat - that's all they have. Are we coming to a conclusion on the renaming? "Kiki" seems ahead. As this will be on the disambiguation page, alternatives can be added there anyway. Johnbod 17:56, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Possible copyright infringement of the color photograph by Julian Mandel |
---|
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it. |
Removal of color photograph by Julian Mandel[edit]The reason for the removal of the second photograph by Julian Mandel, recently introduced without apparent copyright being waived, is related to the statement at the History of erotic photography which states, In the United States, all portraits from prior to January 1, 1923, have passed into the public domain. Most are in black-and-white... [1] and that the source of the photograph is a site indicating a copyright. 83d40m 22:35, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
image reappeared—after deletion decision process closed Here is a link to the discussion and decision regarding deletion of what might be a color photograph that may be of Alice "Kiki" Prin—the discussion used to be at Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Julian Mandel 6.jpg, but it now may be found at [[1]]. Further links related to the issues raised about the photograph, the subject, and the photographer that also are not accessible readily, are, Category:Alice Prin at [[2]], Kiki de Montparnasse at [[3]] and for Julian Mandel at[[4]]. Two of these locations have associated galleries that contain other subjects—who, incorrectly, are identified as Alice "Kiki" Prin. The issue of the appropriateness of inclusion of this image in Wikipedia may not be resolved—and may not be able to be resolved, ever, given the lack of historical evidence and the numerous unfounded claims. In April of 2008, a well-respected editor used a link to a German Wikipedia article, de:Julien Mandel, that carries no references except a link to a web site which is itself, without any documentation, as a justification for restoration of the image. That article has an "also see" link to a list of photographers known for this type of work that, curiously, does not list Mandel. Perhaps he had other information to justify the restoration of a deleted image? If not, I remain convinced that the "final" decision to delete,
makes more sense. Only providing proper references could resolve this issue. If any editors wish to renew the discussion or object to the reinsertion of the image, I've provided the links above that I had to chase down to follow the records. Except for my concern for Wikipedia, I am weary of the issue about a minor aspect of the article, now that it is placed in a subordinate location. ---- 83d40m (talk) 15:48, 27 September 2008 (UTC) link to the German article, translation, and English article Also helpful for further research, the following is a Google translation of the German Wikipedia article (provided) on Julian Mandel mentioned just above as the justification for reinserting the image.
German to English -- Translated roughly by Google 9.27.2008,
Both the German and the English Wikipedia articles lack references. If this name is a pseudonym, as mentioned in both articles, and little is known of a biography, how is the date of birth and death known? Erotic photography published under the name of Julian Mandel is identified as dating from 1910 (when Alice Prin was eight years old and living in Châtillon-sur-Seine) to 1935. The subject of the photograph is a mature woman so one could eliminate the 1910s. During the 1920s she was living with, and the model for, Man Ray in much of his photography. Photographs of her at the age of 27 show a similar maturity as the subject of the image in question. That would be approximately 1928. Being "born in 1872" "Mandel" would have been 57 when "Kiki"—at 28—was designated "Reine" in Paris during a 1929 festival and no longer living with Man Ray. It is noted in the German article that his collectors objected to the postcard-sized editions of Mandel's work. In the English version article, speculation is noted that "Mandel" moved to Brazil, married, and raised a family. By 1935 Mandel would have been 63 and, although not impossible, unlikely to be starting a family. There is much here crying out for further research, good reason to be skeptical about unfounded assertions, and valid questions as to whether these unfounded assertions should justify publication of associated images on Wikipedia, no matter how appealing. I hope that upon the date that Man Ray's images of her become copyright-free, someone comes back to this article and inserts some of the truly beautiful images of Kiki that he made into the article—along with her own artwork. ---- 83d40m (talk) 18:26, 27 September 2008 (UTC) color photograph with mirror by Julian Mandel should be deleted, copyright violation The image is in color, note the skin tones, the red in the shoes and the watch, and the color of the mirror frame -- puts the date go after the cut off of 1923 and makes it a copyright infringement -- no matter who wants to misrepresent the dates... 65.196.169.194 18:03, 7 November 2007 (UTC) |
CORRECTION RE BURIAL PLACE OF KIKI
[edit]For the record, "Kiki" was buried at the Cimetiere de Thiais a cemetery south of Paris. It is unlikely she has a headstone nor a visible grave due to the french practice of reuse of burial sites after a certain time unless a perpetual concession is bought. Therefore she is not in the Montparnasse cemetary.
She was not followed by a huge crowd as quoted, although her funeral cortege around her haunts of the carrefour Vavin drew a crowd, but only three, her friend Trieze, Andre Salmon and Foujita, attended the burial.
Man Ray did not have the decency to attend, and in my view he treated her very shabbily at the end of her life. He could at least have made life a little easier for her, being by then wealthy.
She did not die of a heart attack but a haemorrhage, she had chronic liver disease, she collapsed at her home rue Vavin, while feeding the birds, and died in hospital. Aged 53.
This is a good article but marred by this trivial bickering over her name, if you had asked her, she would have replied, "Kiki", thats good enough for me. She is known in all written and oral history as "Kiki de Montparnasse". Some years ago I talked to an elderly lifetime resident of the area who knew her, the name alice Prin meant nothing, Kiki however elicted a warm response. Kiki is not a slang term but a pet name and is still in use by a french singer, also styling herself "de montparnasse". Sorry but this discussion on the name smacks of academic nitpickin. There is also some evidence that at one time she called herself "Kiki Ray". Probably the only time she answered to the name Prin was in the police courts.
It is unfortunate that her memory has been sullied by the hijacking of her name for a chain of tacky sex shops. There are many hard to find articles by or about Kiki in Paris Match, Ici Paris post war and an interesting essay on her by Mark Gaipa can be found on the web. An interesting new addition to the Kiki history has just been published by Catel and Bocquet, which should not be dismissed in its 'bande dessinee' style as a non serious work.
I also have period [circa 192?] photos of the Rotonde wherein Kiki and Man Ray can be discerned under magnification Brytk 10:03, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you Brytk for your post, even if it was 15 years ago. I am a big fan of Kiki, and go to Paris / Montparnasse often. It is sometimes my custom late at night to sit by the Wallace fountain @ the confluence of rue Brea and rue Vavin (sometimes these days called "Place Laurent-Terzieff-et-Pascale-de-Boysson" (though Kiki wouldn't have heard of them), open a demi of vin rouge and think of her. I wonder if this spot is where she collapsed feeding the birds, but I do know she had to have sat there or walked by often. Again, thanks for your post. There are so many false posts about her. Thank you for setting the record straight.
- One of my most cherished books is "KiKi's Paris" by Billy Kluver and Julie Martin. Such wonderful photos of her and the gang. Highly recommended if you don't already have it. All the best. davequ (talk) 04:27, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Kiki's Death and location I have read in more than one place that instead of the location in this wiki article, Kiki actually died / collapsed from a heart attack outside her flat on the rue Brea in Paris. One such notation about it is in the International Herald Tribune here: http://www.iht.com/articles/1999/06/12/mont.2.t.php?page=2 (see second-to-last paragragh on page 2).

- According to the French Wikipedia, Kiki was buried in Thiais. Her grave was cleared in 1974. I have looked for her tomb in Montparnasse but have not been able to find it. Yet somebody quotes from the headstone. Does anybody know where that headstone is? Thiais is the place where people who have little money are buried. The link to the quote is from find-a-grave, but even they now (2013) state that she was buried in Thiais. I have been told she was actually buried in Thiais in division 75. According to this article she never returned to Paris and died in Sanary-sur-Mer, which I believe is on the Côte-d'Azur (but this may have come from some unreliable source such as IMDB). Yet above it is stated she died while living in the Rue Vavin, which is in the Montparnasse Quarter of Paris. Above it is also stated that she died aged 53. Although there is some discussion on which date she actually died, it is ususually around March-April 1953, making her 51. This article seems to be riddled with errors. Anybody know a reliable source? JHvW 23:41, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Kiki's Parents
[edit]Does anyone know the names of Kiki's parents? I've never stumbled across their names and I'm writing an article on her life. Thanks- Samantha555 (talk) 02:57, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
- I have never seen any discussion about her father, but her mother and grandmother are mentioned in many references seen while looking for references for the article. If I recall correctly, her mother was named, Louise, but I would have to find the sources again to be sure. Sources citing the name exist, however, if you want to look. ---- 83d40m (talk) 15:48, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
- There is an excellent book "Kiki's Paris- Artists and Lovers 1900-1930" by Billy Kluver and Julie Martin containing many excellent Montparnasse fotos of Kiki in her "prime." In this book on page 60 it says:
"Her mother, Marie Prin, worked as a linotypist for a local newspaper. Marie's lover, Kiki's father, was Maxime Legros, a coal and wood merchant whose shop was just down the street." (in Chatillon-sur-Seine, a small town in Burgundy). For anyone interested in Kiki's life, I highly recommend checking out this book from a lending library. I cannot personally vouch for it's accuracy, but due to the scope / size and amount of data (700 illustrations, 12 maps, 264 pages total) it is in the very least a "Kiki-fan's" dream. davequ (talk) 22:33, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
CORRECTION: ARTWORK AND AUTOBIOGRAPHY
[edit]"She never returned as a resident." [citation needed] This apparently is incorrect according to Art Buchwald's memoir, "I'll Always Have Paris!" Buchwald relates seeing Kiki in Paris dancing on tables at cafes in the late 1940s. He writes on page 16 of how "She went from cafe to cafe and danced on tables while the crowd pretended to love it. I found it sad the first time I saw it--and even sadder each time after that." This behaviour hardly seems possible unless she was a resident. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.41.15.59 (talk) 05:55, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
Spurious Photographs
[edit]French postcards purporting to be of Alice Prin (Kiki) have been circulating the internet for years and have wound up here on Wikipedia. Anyone familiar with the subject knows they are not her. Kiki posed nude quite often in the 1920s, for photographer Man Ray and painters such as Foujita, Soutine, Pascin and Kisling. She even did a few "artistic" porn shots with Ray collectively entitled "The Four Seasons". But there is no evidence she ever sat for commercial erotica. Her portraits and nudes show a fleshy woman with broad shoulders, pear-shaped breasts and very big hips, to say nothing of her distinctive facial features. (Her epic angular nose was practically her trademark - Alexander Calder made a wire sculpture of it). Google images for "Man Ray Kiki" with safe search off, and compare.
The only feasible time that necessity might have driven Kiki to do anonymous softcore was a period of some months in 1918, after her mother kicked her out and before she hooked up with her first lover, painter Maurice Mendjizky; but the visual documentation is against this. Mendjizky's portrait of Kiki at age 18 (1919), Ray's earliest photos of her (1921), and a self-portrait sketched in a letter to Tristan Tzara prove she did not adopt her signature sleek bobbed hair until after March 1922, the year Foujita's painting "Nude with a Jouy Fabric" made both the artist and Kiki famous throughout France. So she could not have posed for the attributed postcards before then. And she would not have afterwards, because she was a star of the Montparnasse art scene - and well knew it.
Also note that the Wiki article for postcard photographer Julian Mandel is unsourced and Kiki does not appear in the text (though she has a link below). With no reliable provenance linking the postcards with Kiki, I believe they should be removed. TheBawbb (talk) 18:45, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Heads up! Confirmation of later death date for Mandel means his images will be off Commons for 10 years!
[edit]Copying my message from Talk:Julien Mandel, since several of his photos are used in this article: The apparently confirmed later than generally thought death date for Julian Mandel means that Mandel's photos are not yet legally copyright expired in his home country of France, so there is a pending deletion request: Commons:Deletion_requests/Files_in_Category:Photographs_by_Julian_Mandel (For those who don't know, the Commons discussions are just as to matters of copyright, not whether they think they are good images something, so it's not a matter of votes.) It looks likely that if the 1961 date is confirmed, Mandel's works on Commons will be deleted, with undeletion scheduled for 2032. BUT! A good bit of Madel's work (pre-1926 publication) is ok for US use - and here at English language Wikipedia. So if someone wishes to local copies of a good sample and upload them here on en:w (with appropriate note that they are not yet internationally OK for Commons - {{Do not move to Commons|expiry=2032}}) they could be used for articles here for the next 10 years. Heads up before are those easily accessible images on Commons disappear for 10 years! -- Infrogmation (talk) 01:13, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
