My Studio in Paris
In 1905, Max Weber moved to Paris where he immersed himself in the avant-garde art scene. My Studio in Paris provides a glimpse into his world there. The artist makes his appearance indirectly in this scene through the presence of his coat thrown over a sideboard and his shoes on the lower right of the composition.
