EDITORS COMMENTS
Montmartre: Scene in the Maquis, Circa 1905" is an evocative and intriguing photograph that transports us back in time to the bohemian and revolutionary spirit of Montmartre in late 19th century Paris, France. This image, captured around 1905, offers a rare glimpse into the world of the Maquis, a group of artists, writers, and intellectuals who sought refuge in the hills of Montmartre to escape the constraints of bourgeois society and live freely. The photograph shows a group of Maquisards gathered around a table, deep in conversation, their faces illuminated by the warm glow of a lamp. The room is filled with the clutter of artistic endeavors – brushes, palettes, and easels are scattered about, while books and papers cover the table. In the background, through the open window, we catch a glimpse of the Paris skyline, with the Sacré-Cœur Basilica standing proudly atop Montmartre. The Maquis were known for their radical and unconventional lifestyle, often living in poverty and subsisting on meager means. They were a diverse group, attracting both the famous and the unknown, including artists like Picasso, Modigliani, and Van Gogh, as well as writers like Apollinaire and Rimbaud. They were drawn to Montmartre by the freedom it offered, the vibrant artistic community, and the opportunity to challenge societal norms. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Montmartre and the Maquis, a reminder of a time when art, creativity, and rebellion went hand in hand. It invites us to imagine the passionate debates, the late-night discussions, and the groundbreaking ideas that took shape in this historic and iconic setting.
