Only Paris Could Offerany: Picasso's development into a mature artist began with an academic education; but by the time he was 16 he had already learned everything there was to learn. When he turned to contemporary Spanish art, he did so with the ambition, as he wrote in a letter, of being more modernist than the Modernists themselves. And he achieved his aim. Only Paris could offerany challenge during his years of training, and ittook him less than a year to acquaint himself thoroughly with the latest artistic techniques.The Selective Shopper on the Prowl Paris is a shopper's heaven, especially if the shopper is on the distaff side. It is an expensive heaven, in these days, notably excepting perfumes, which are far cheaper in Paris than in America, but the cost doesn't seem to frighten tourists away. Paris est toujours Paris.
Some Nuggets of Fact The Paris busses stop running, in most cases* about 9 P. M., the Metro at about 12:30 A. M. and Paris taxis may legally charge double fare after 11 p. M. A transportation map of Paris is invaluable, and the price of one, at any kiosk, is only a few cents. |
