"Le Vrai Paris, à Poil" is popular Montmartre artist Mary Blake's latest oeuvre. To give the painting an ironic twist, she removed the clothing of the revelers.
"It didn't start out that way," says Mary, who is a well-known figure in the neighborhood, and in all of Paris. You can spot her most days at her easel painting scenes at any of the famous cafés and parks of her beloved quartier. Her subjects, however, are normally clothed.
"But the clients were all so blasé, so I decided to undress them. They didn't notice, but the passersby sure did."
