Èmile Goudeau Square is named after the novel and poetry writer who founded the literary club "Les Hydropathes." The Wallace fountain as well as several Horse Chestnut trees are located here with the Bateau Lavoir in the background. Pablo Picasso lived here and he painted his Garçon a la Pipe and his les Demoiselles d'Avignon while he lived here. Amedeo Modigliani and Juan Gris also lived here. So many artists met here that i should not even attempt to list them all. 😀 Well, here are a few:
Gertrude Stein, Henri Matisse, Guillaume Apollinaire, and Georges Braque are just a few.
Gertrude Stein told Ernest Hemingway that he should buy art instead of spending money on clothing and such. He was not wealthy at the time and neither am I. Ernest Hemingway did manage to buy some art works and I also am taking Gertrude Stein's advice to heart. I just have to find good art with Instagram and Pinterest friends to buy art that I can afford. Here is one such art work that I bought from @lillys_press. This artwork is called "Two Birds".
