Rita Crane Photography: Windows & Blossoms, Montparnasse ~ Postcard from Paris

Walking in the neighborhood of the historic Montparnasse cafes (Le Dome, Le Select, La Rotonde, La Coupole) I was looking for certain artists' studios that I had located through my prior art history research. These cafes played an important role as a gathering place during the international modern art movement of the post WWI era. While exploring, I came across this inviting touch of Spring.

 

What was Montparnasse about in the early 1900's?

Here is a brief essay about an art exhibit honoring the artists of that era: www.parisvoice.com/-archives-97-86/337-exhibition-revisit...
