Description
The French School was a term used to indicate art made in France by Frenchmen, not contaminated by foreign artists living in Paris. The School of Paris was applied to all modern art produced in Paris and was used to describe all foreign artists working in Paris - to a large extent the Jewish artists of Montparnasse.
