EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of Paris in 1937. The iconic Cafe de la Paix takes center stage, its elegant facade standing as a testament to the city's rich history and vibrant café culture. Artist Martin Hurlimann skillfully captures the essence of this beloved establishment, known for attracting intellectuals, artists, and socialites alike. The image reveals a lively scene unfolding on the pavement cafe. A diverse crowd has gathered under the Parisian sky, engrossed in their own conversations or lost in thought while reading newspapers or books. This snapshot of street life showcases both the charm of French society and its intellectual pursuits. Hurlimann's monochrome depiction adds a touch of nostalgia to this already timeless setting. The absence of color invites viewers to focus on the intricate details: from cobblestone lanes leading up to Avenue de l'Opéra, to passersby strolling along the sidewalk with purposeful strides. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded that it is more than just an artistic representation; it serves as a metaphor for an era defined by cultural exchange and intellectual discourse. It encapsulates not only a specific time period but also embodies the spirit of "cafe society" that thrived during those years. This remarkable piece by Martin Hurlimann stands as a testament to his talent as an artist and his ability to capture moments frozen in time - moments that continue to captivate our imagination even decades later.
