EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a scene from the Maquis of Montmartre, a tumbledown shanty town nestled on the slopes of Paris's iconic Butte de Montmartre, circa 1905. The Maquis was a community of artists, writers, and bohemians who sought refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city below. The area, known for its picturesque streets and stunning views of Paris, had long been a haven for those seeking inspiration and a simpler way of life. In this image, we see a group of people gathered around a fire, their faces illuminated by the flickering flames. The rough-hewn shacks and makeshift shelters in the background speak to the rustic, unpretentious nature of the community. The Montmartre Maquis was a place where creativity and community thrived, where artists like Picasso, Modigliani, and Van Dongen found inspiration, and where the seeds of the Montmartre School of Art were sown. Despite its romanticized image, life in the Maquis was far from easy. The community was often subjected to harsh winters and frequent police raids. Yet, the residents persevered, drawn to the freedom and sense of belonging that the Maquis offered. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, a time when Montmartre was a beacon for those seeking to live life on their own terms. The Montmartre Maquis was a unique and important chapter in the history of Paris and France, a precursor to the more famous Montmartre of the 1920s and beyond. This photograph offers a glimpse into a world that has long since disappeared, a world that continues to inspire and captivate us to this day.
