Cabaret des Quat'z'Arts

Similar to Le Chat Noir, the Quat'z'Arts was a gathering place for artists, composers, musicians, performers, poets, illustrators, and theater critics, attracting newcomers such as Pablo Picasso and Apollinaire.

[1] The Cabaret des Quat'z'Arts was founded in December 1893 by François Trombert on the site of the old Café du Tambourin.

[1] Theatrical offerings were performed by the cabaret's troupe or by marionettes and included satirical revues and shadow plays.

Les Quat'z'arts, the cabaret's official magazine, was established in November 1897 and included anecdotes, chronicles, jokes, parodies, and satirical commentary.

Four muses on the masthead depicted architecture, painting, sculpture, and engraving, while swimming across the Seine with lions (symbolizing young artists) following behind them, all to join poetry in Montmartre.
