at the request of Salis, transformed it into a

LOCATIONS CONT’D
• Outlying part of Montmartre at the time was poor up until the 1880’s when artists moved into the area
because the rent in Latin Quartier and the Left bank were too expensive.
• Rudolphe Salis gathered artists, musicians, and poets at his apartment to share their work over a glass of wine or
a smoke.• Soon Salis’ apartment became the “it” spot for all artists
alike and caused his space to overflow into the next door building.
• It was practically an all-male gathering of artists who shared their works with each other, or complaining about
Paris’ problems over wine.
