In the early 20th century, the "City of Art, Paris" attracted many artists from around the world. Young artists gathered in communal studio residences such as "Bateau-Lavoir" in Montmartre and "La Ruche" in Montparnasse, where they deepened their exchanges and devoted themselves to their creations. This group of artists, later known as the "École de Paris," consisted mainly of painters and sculptors who came to Paris from outside France, gathering primarily in Montparnasse. Notable artists included Russians like Chagall and Soutine, Italians like Modigliani, Bulgarians like Pascin, Poles like Kisling, and Japanese artists like Tsuguharu Foujita, as well as French painters like Utrillo and Laurencin. They did not work under a specific art theory or movement, unlike certain schools or art movements. However, they were inspired by new artistic styles and theories such as Fauvism and Cubism, and sometimes drew inspiration from primitive arts, including those from Africa. Each artist explored unique expressions rooted in their own country's traditions and ethnic characteristics. The École de Paris reached its peak in the 1920s and effectively came to an end with the onset of World War II, but during its time, the artists of the École de Paris brought forth a diverse and rich flowering of art in Paris.
