Les Bohèmians - La Butte Montmartre Part II


The last few weeks of the residency are also upon me and there’s still so much to see and so many things to organise. Today was a cold and overcast day in Paris today - a cold wind and low misty cloud shrouding Notre Dame in the distance – a great day for staying in and working in the studio.



Found lots of street art in Montmartre on last Friday’s visit – particularly liked this series of famous faces by the artist PITR. He’s amazingly prolific - I’ve seen his work frequently in various quartiers of Paris and obviously other tourists have actually caught him in action around town.

He depicts all kinds of personalities – politicians, musicians and artists – but this corner was devoted to a philosophical theme featuring Artaud, Foucault and Sartre.









But had less success tracking down the owner of this handsome visage in the Marais from a couple of weeks ago. Anyone got any ideas?
