Moves to Paris with his friend the
Czech artist Ferdinand Michl (1877-1951).
They arrive in Paris at February 22, 1904.
Rue Daguerre April 1904.
.....My favourite
Paris quarter had always been the Quarters Latin. Following me, Czech
fellow artists and friends moved to this quarter one after another. It
was my friend painter F. Michl, sculptors Spaniel and Kafka, later
painter Strumple and the illustrator Placek. Štefánik had called
us once for a fun a ‘bunch of fumblers’. The oldest Paris residents were
of course: Kupka living in Montmartre, A. Wiesner in Neuilly, J. Dedina
and K. Špillar in Montrouge but we met them occasionally or by chance.
We were youthful, had the same interest and modern thinking, always
overflowing with merriment, and although our work was different, the
relation with them was amicable and somehow amusing. We did not have
much money but we had strong appetite for life, especially for the
Parisian life, and the sense of humour and merriment was never missing.
We were happy in a Bohemian way. We used to go for lunch to some
restaurant at noon and instead of dinner, we rather went to some
café-house at Bulmys(?), where we could sit, with a glass of café or
another drink, relaxing, talking and sketching till or even over
midnight…. by Šimon, 'From
the live of Milan Štefánik' in Paris/

memorial. |
