From the March 18, 1946 cover story PARIS—It Belongs Also To Parisians. The image ran with the following caption: “Montmartre, under the chalk-white dome of Sacre Coeur, was the Bohemia of Trilby’s day and later a place of tawdry entertainment. Today is has again become what it was in centuries past—a village within a city. There are too few taxis now to take travelers up the steep hills to Montmartre and too few places of entertainment to persuade people to climb the long stairs and the wearying cobbled streets. The street painter now finds few foreigners to buy his pictures of the little curving street.” (Ed Clark—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #Montmartre #Paris #France

Working in his studio from live models, Auguste Rodin developed concepts for sculptures in clay. paid nude models to walk around him and if one struck an interesting pose, he quickly fashioned a small sculpture in clay. Skilled assistants would then make a plaster cast of the clay figure that captured every bump and depression in its surface. This plaster, or an enlargement or reduction of it, represented Rodin’s vision for a completed work. Professional bronze founders used the plaster cast as the basis for creating bronze sculptures.
