Was Lichenoski Ever In Paris?
Was Lichenoski Ever In Paris?

Summary/Abstract: Lazar Lichenoski never specialized in Paris with Marcel Lenoir. These are mere fabrications. And all these details about the would-be exhibition of Lenoir, at the opening of which even Cardinal Dubois appeared, whose ring Lichenoski kissed, who, moreover, sold tickets to the exhibition, have been scrambled up in someone's sick memory. During Lenoir's exhibition, which was held from March 1-31, 1928, in his atelier on the fifth floor of Rue de Notre Dame des Champs number 86, without a doubt Cardinal Dubois appeared and his ring was kissed, but not by Lazar Lichenoski, who, at that time, was not selling tickets but was in frustration in a completely different place, trying to draw sketches for the portrait of Mrs. Milutinovich. The fact that on November 20, 1927, Lichenoski knocked on Marcel Lenoir's door, asking him to accept him into his studio, because he had a stipend for fresco painting, is utterly unfounded, because we know for certain that Lichenoski that day was in a much nicer place in much nicer company… And--this is extremely important--he could not have knocked on the door of the eccentric painter for the simple reason that the door was in Paris and Lichenoski never, ever, was in Paris. And if you have never been in Paris, you can never have knocked on a door there.
