Villa Aujourd’hui
The villa ''Aujourd’hui'' is a Modernist villa built by the American architect Barry Dierks (1899-1960) for the Palm Beach, Florida socialite, Mrs. Audrey Chadwick. Located in Antibes and built in 1938, the villa ''Aujourd’hui'' is one of the most distinctive of Dierks’ Riviera homes and was one of the last expressions of the Modernist style to have been built on the Riviera prior to the outbreak of World War II.
==Background==
Starting in 1923, the Riviera started to become a summer resort, but it was the American multimillionaire, Frank Jay Gould, who was responsible for turning the Riviera into a summer resort by encouraging hoteliers to open their hotels at the beginning of spring rather than in winter as was the tradition in the 19th century. With his wife, Florence, the two attracted friends, family, artists, and the wealthy for not only sporting activities and stylish pursuits under the sun, but also for social and cultural pursuits. Through the couple’s financial backing, Juan-les-Pins became a center for summer activities on the Riviera; this was quickly followed in 1926 with their backing of the hotel ''Palais de la Méditerranée'' in Nice. The Gould’s efforts were continued by Gerald and Sara Murphy, who had moved to cap d’Antibes. Their home, ''Villa America'', was a center of Riviera social life receiving the likes of Scott Fitzgerald, John Dos Passos, Serge Diaghilev and Pablo Picasso.〔 François Fray, conservateur du patrimoine, “La Villa Ajourd'hui,” in ''Parimoine XXe'', September 2000, (read on line ) (page consulted 01 August, 2013)〕
