Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - June 21, 1969, Winnipeg, Manitoba R. Winnipeg free press saturday june 1969 galleries sales Tumble in Paris by by Fox Paris up it is a familiar refrain in showcase cities around the world that things Are not what they used to but in Paris once a haunt of tills Century s great paint ers and writers the refrain seems borne out by observable fact. An Art gallery proprietor on the left Bank Boulevard do Montparnasse told of preparing to shut up shop and look ing to areas of France outside the capital because business Here has become so bad. He said other galleries be sides his own have encountered the same Sag in sales As himself since the near revolution this country experienced last year. Pending an end to the Dis quiet instilled by the 1968 upheaval and by the string of elections since then he could see no return to Prosperity for Art dealers. And painters he added have suffered accordingly. The artists Are not helped either by the redevelopment now transforming sections of this City of although far less conspicuous than changes in London and the cities of North Amer Ica the alterations going on in Paris do mean demolition of older buildings where artists traditionally have found Stu Dio space at reasonable rates. New accommodation can mean prohibitively High rents. Such was the experience Early this year of artists quartered near the left Bank of Serva Toire. Currently a further stir is being caused by the similar predicament of painters and sculptors who have been using a Pavilion salvaged from the Paris International exhibition of 1900. This Structure is called la the hive. In its time it has housed the studios of painters like Chagall Modigliani Fernand Leger and a celebrated american Best known for his books about but a Painter too Henry Miller. It is very Normal that Paris should modernize itself but without cancelling out its said a spokesman for the present generation of la Ruche tenants. Such controversies do not mean that Paris is being sum Marily stripped of the Ameni ties for which it is internationally known. Its classic Central Section and attendant landmarks still Are intact. Immense artistic treasures remain a powerful tourist at traction As do the wealth of Good restaurants cafe lined boulevards and less famous sections like the 16th arrondissement or Ward where abundant Trees serve As a classic demonstration of How City life can be enhanced through preservation of sur rounding greenery. Yet the View South across the River Seine from a Point overlooking the place de la concorde now discloses an Urban landscape highlighted by the Stark modernism of the new Montparnasse railway station As Well As by Graceful Spires and domes. Construction of Montparnasse station is bound to set off additional changes in the neighbouring left Bank area beyond those already being brought about by factors such As increased car traffic possibly most important of All apparent decrease in importance of Paris As a world Centre for contemporary Art. A Large and sparkling Breton population still gives the Montparnasse area a neighbourly atmosphere Lack ing in Many other quarters of the capital. But it no longer is the Mecca for world writers and painters it was in the 1920s. Many of the Art exhibitions held Here at present Are re to re View accomplishments dating from the time when Paris teemed with masters blazing new trails for 20th Century painting and sculpture. The same nostalgic note is reflected in left Bank cafe life american professor who Over Coffee at la rot Onde recalled Selling a Bicy Cle to Ernest Hemingway at that Montparnasse establish ment or the stories of Wil Liam Faulkner making a Post second world War pilgrimage to be dome across the Boule Vard to breathe the same cafe air inhaled in former times by James Joyce. One longtime resident of Montparnasse himself an expatriate from Croatia complained that life in the Quarter has become less pleasantly sociable since Tele vision became part of the French scene. But even now the dense throngs of Holiday promenade ers on the Boulevard do Montparnasse and the other Broad thoroughfares of left Bank Paris remain a novel sight for visitors accustomed to less gregarious styles of Urban Liv ing.
