| Most of the paintings and prints of Paris during the early 1960s were done from drawings of the city viewed from the steps in front of the church of Sacre-Coeur. These steps are only a few streets away from the famous haunts of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists like the Moulin de la Galette, the Moulin Rouge, and the bistro Le Lapin Agile. Malraux, Minister of Culture under DeGaulle, had ordered all of the stone buildings cleaned of their grime, and the city began to take on an unanticipated golden glow. |
