Paris Museum: Other Paris museums of painting and sculpture than the two mentioned above, omitting here the galleries of modern-to-contemporary art, are the Petit Palais, with "A Century of French Art," the Rodin Museum, the Luxembourg Museum, the Cluny, for its antiquities and medieval treasures; and there are, of course, several private galleries, such as the Musee Jacquemart-Andre, the Musee Henner and the Musee Cognaci Jay, this on the boulevard des Capucines, almost opposite the Cafe de Paix.
In the provinces, almost every regional capital has a museum of some interest, for it may be said that in France artistic creation "comes naturally" and has done so for many centuries.Many a slick magazine has taken a fling at the subject of Paris restaurants. These include British Vogue (some years ago) and our Flair, before it passed away. The Vogue job was a marvel of conciseness, each restaurant being spotted on the map and described by means of a cleverly devised legend. If you have the luck to find one, maybe in a Paris bookstall, will have a treasure, but I fear it is now a museum piece.

From a designer of patterns and deco-of various sorts he passed to the ficole mx-Arts at Paris, where he was much at-to the work of Jean Leon Gerome and Bonnat. The influence of both these •s is traceable in his paintings, especially Bonnat in the duskiness of coloring in his 'ation dans la banlieue de Toulouse, now Havre Museum. |
