Le Bateau-Lavoir
"We will return all to the Bateau-Lavoir, we will not really be happy there ..." Until his death, Picasso (1881-1973) kept the nostalgia of his youth in rural Montmartre, with its farms, orchards and picturesque cabarets. Arrived on the hill at age 19, he took a workshop here in 1904 where he performed the last works of the Blue Period, those of the Rose Period inspired by his love affair with Fernande Olivier, and "Demoiselles d'Avignon" (1907 ), a prelude to cubism. While best known as the "House of the Hunter", the former piano factory, divided into artists' studios and renamed c.1889 by Max Jacob, saw its vast barracks, and wooden maze of corridors and stairs, reduced to ashes by a fire on 12 May 1970.]
