Sara & Gerald Murphy — photographed by Man Ray, dressed for one of the legendary costume balls of 1920s Paris.

The Murphys moved through an extraordinary world of artists, writers and musicians — Picasso, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Léger and their great friend Cole Porter among them. Their legendary style of entertaining would continue on the Côte d’Azur at Villa America, where art, friendship and the pleasure of living well came together.

And in the wonderfully unconventional world of Sara & Gerald Murphy… perhaps Anything Goes. 🥂

🎶 Anything Goes — Cole Porter
