Café Wepler
The Cleveland Museum of Art catalogs Café Wepler as painting (France, late 19th-early 20th Century · c. 1908–10, reworked in 1912).
Established in 1881, the Cafe Wepler is still in business. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it was frequented by artists and writers.
A CLOSER LOOK
The museum identifies this painting as oil on fabric and credits Édouard Vuillard (French, 1868–1940).
The museum's collection notes: The Wepler, a large brasserie restaurant on Place Clichy in the Montmartre district of Paris, is composed of several rooms on different levels. Once frequented by bohemian artists like Pablo Picasso and Amedeo Modigliani, the Wepler is still in business today.
