Henry Miller Discovered At Clignancourt

Thanks to Dov on Flickr, we have a new Miller photo to see. Dov was at a flea market at Clignancourt when he spotted a stash of pre-70s press photos of celebrities making use of Air France. Apparently, these were issued by the PR department of the French Ministry Of Tourism. Is that Henry's German girlfriend Renate Gerhardt in the picture?

Visit Dov's main posting for this press pack to see photos of other celebrities.

Incidentally, Miller himself had visited the Clignancourt flea market during his first two months living in Paris in 1930. In a letter to Emil Schnellock from April 1930, he asks his friend if he'd like him to pick up "those art objects" from Clignancourt ... "Do you want me to plunge? And for how much?--only on African and Oceanic things--fetiches, masks, statuettes, etc." (Letters To Emil, p.41)

And this (p. 48): "Flea market, Clignancourt - veritable objects of art for a song, including Oceanic, African, Melanesian, Siamese, etc!!"
