paris was special. in paris was not touched. they walked into paris without a shot being fired. yes. it is, sir. this to the men back here. >> i wonder if you could talk for a minute about the women, the perris in women who collaborated with the nazis, famous images of the women being marched to the street after liberation with their heads shaved. can you talk a little bit about the motivation and what happened afterwards. were they able to resume normal life as french women, or were they stigmatized for a long time? >> let me -- the last part is easy to answer. they were stigmatized, but there were eventually reach assimilated in society. many of them were treated unfairly. people knew that. women and a major role in the occupation because of the man were imprisoned. and therefore paris, which has always been considered a feminine city, was even more feminine at this time. it was the mothers who had to wait in line, the mothers who had to have the jobs, and in an intimate -- into an occupation -- and this was an end to an occupation which means that there were many, many jobs t

paris erupted.by radicals, the city elected an alternative government-- the paris commune-- that drove the politicians of the third republic to versailles. already ravaged by prussian artillery fire, paris paid a terrible price for its short lived resistance to the new republic's authority. edouard manet depicted the essence of the short, violent suppression of the commune as french troops fired on french civilians-- killing thousands before they squashed the rebelli. the national soul-searching for the reasons behind the violence and chaos continued for decades. the middle class blamed the lower classes for abandoning patriotic virtues for decadence-- turning to alcoholism and prostitution and away from respect for authority. they saw decadence differently from the heights of montmartre. the third republic's succession of ineffectual and corrupt governments smacked of decadence and failed to address the social problems created by avaricious capitalism and industrialization. pollution and urban pove

he left paris and went home to the family estate in provence. there, for the rest of his life, he painted and repainted the landscapes where he had spent his boyhood. cezanne was not a tourist. he was therefore quite different from all the other artists we've discussed so far. cezanne alone remained faithful to the impressionist program of open-air painting an art based on direct observation of the physical world. for 30 years he set himself to find an answer to this question-- could he make a new art based entirely on what he called his petit sensation? petit sensation was one of cezanne's key concepts. sensation in french has two meanings. it refers both to physical perceptions and also to human feelings. cezanne was never a distanced observer. the countryside was the living proof of the people who had used it, shaped it, marked it. but it seems that he felt that it was only by a careful study of the precise physical forms of nature the actual colors he saw that he could reach through to the full implications of its human meaning. he was later

paris was the second city you chose. to expand, you also chose paris. why was that? >> it is -- to artists and to an audience. you think about the great museums and the great artists who came to france to work here and make a career here. you are talking about new york. they took over. the artists wanting to move there. berlin took its place. one idea which excited me at the time, paris led to europe. art and culture is part of it. >> this space is monumental. do you think that a space like this, where you are able to display for -- when you open the space, very large work. do you think it reflects a taste for larger work or installation work? is that what people are more into? >> people will say you never solve this mentality. -- you never saw this mentality. you go to the louvre or the great museums of the world and you see large format. it is not something new. it also always changes. 30 years ago, you did not see these kinds of massive sizes. today, there are many museums that are built many large spaces. many collectors expand possibilities. it is more difficult

paris itself was transformed by baron haussmann, the prefect of paris, whose great boulevards were crashinggh the old neighborhoods. an elegant, impersonal, modern city was created. new classes emerged and asserted their right to enjoy themselves. taking their cue from manet, younger artists began to paint aspects of modern city life. but the city they observed was often an uncertain, anonymous place. it offered alienation as well as adventure. the cafe concerts were places of popular entertainment where people from different classes could mingle, their identities masked. edgar degas, in particular, explored places like these with an extraordinary variety of techniques, increasingly using pastel as a means of combining color with drawing. [woman singing in french] in the way he arranged his compositions, degas looked to the example of the japanese color print, whose customary viewpoints and cutoff compositions suggested ways of presenting his vision of the modern world. pierre auguste renoir painted a far more involved and festive vision of the era. the forms of the figures dissolved into a

paris is pretty old, and there are a lot of old sellers in poor shape, so i always say that paris iss full of holes as a swiss cheese. there are lots of holes rats can use to get into buildings. >> researcher this researcher -- this researcher has researched why rats are so hard to get rid of. rat poison only kills the individual that eats it first. the rest of the colony then avoids it. exterminator's now use odorless molecules that dehydrate the animals from within, but the numerous scientist knows it will not be easy to bid paris of its rats. >> for the rats, we are more food providers than enemies, thanks to our garbage. we are much bigger than they are, so they keep their distance and do not leap into our arms. >> there's no risk in putting lab rats, but the professor says it's better to keep your hands off the wild rats in the parks. they can transmit pathogens like salmonella, though they are not any dirtier than pigeons. not everyone hates rats. fans of the animated film "ratatouille," about a very special parisian rat think they are cute. the movie has improved the public im

at the end of july 1830, paris was up in arms. it was the end of the bourbons, the ruling family of france for many centuries. everyone hoped in liberty-- in freedom. it was a great moment of french history. delacroix was not a political radical. he was a famous artist at this moment. he understood it was the occasion to paint a great picture, and he painted a very great picture. it's, of course, a political picture. it is also a history picture. by history i mean it's an allegory-- an allegory of freedom-- and the lady in the middle of the picture represents freedom and liberty. she has in her hand the french flag, and she is dominating the picture, where you see a lot of people-- dead soldiers, workers an intellectual wearing a hat. [sounds of rioting] all these figures are taken in everyday life.
