From the 1870s to just after the turn of the<br />

century, the idea of the ‘people’s theater’ was<br />

a popular utopian concept in French artistic<br />

circles, meant to bring high art to the common<br />

man, thereby democratizing it and removing<br />

elements of elitism. <strong>The</strong> common man, however,<br />

had little interest in the lofty and exhaustive<br />

productions typically put on at these venues,<br />

often running upwards of 5 hours and featuring<br />

lectures, sketches, songs, and a full-length play.<br />

As Monte Carlo never permitted gambling to<br />

be a primary feature of its tourism advertising,<br />

artists were forced to focus on the area’s other<br />

amusements. Here, in the dusty rose glow of<br />

sunset, a mustachioed gentleman brings dignity<br />

and sure masculinity to the sport of pigeon<br />

shooting. To the contemporary eye, the palette<br />
