École de Paris: Artists from Bohemia and Interwar Paris

When we hear “Czech artists in interwar France”, the names of František Kupka, Josef Šíma, Jindřich Štyrský, and Toyen come to mind. If the same was said to an art-loving Parisian in the 1920s, he or she would most probably think of Georges Kars, Othon Coubine, François Zdenek, or François Maurice Eberl. They were the ones who managed to make a name for themselves on the Parisian interwar art scene, their works appearing in prestigious galleries and on the pages of art magazines, and they were part of a cosmopolitan group of artists based mainly in Montmartre and Montparnasse, known as the Paris School.
