André Salmon
André Dunoyer de Segonzac, Max Jacob, André Salmon and others such as Kees van Dongen and Raoul Dufy are known to have attended Poiret's balls. Salmon writes about one of them in "L'Air de la Butte": 'Poiret who opens his home to artists of his choice, who prepare, in his gardens, a party in the spirit of 1889'. Here Salmon makes reference to the Exposition Universelle (1889).
