Student days in Paris
Creator
Joseph Mortimer Lichtenauer, Jr. (1876-1966)
Description
A diary of art student Lichtenauer while studying in Paris, covering October 13, 1897-April 10, 1898. He began his time in Paris studying at the Academie Julian and recorded his studies and meetings with other art students and artists, including setting up a studio with two friends; his social activities (teas, dinners, dancing, music and theater performances, including a night at the Folies Bergere); bicycling in the Bois de Boulogne; reading Marcus Aurelius; etc. They arranged to have William Turner Dannat critique their work. Important world events on which Lichtenauer offered many comments were the Dreyfus affair, Emile Zola's publication of the letter "J'Accuse" and his subsequent trial; and the deterioration of relations between the U.S. and Spain after the U.S.S.
