The Café de Flore is a famous café in Paris far beyond France. For many intellectual writers such as Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre, Boris Vian, Guillaume Apollinaire and Jean Cocteau, artists such as Alberto Giacometti and Pablo Picasso, it has been a meeting place for the exchange of opinions and ideas. Here, André Breton and Louis Aragon thought about the literary movement of Surrealism. The Café de Flore has always been an attraction for intellectuals, curious people and tourists who want to share in the spirit or even guess in which surroundings important schools of thought and art styles of the 20th century have developed. Today's zeitgeist phenomena can be explained by looking back, because the impulses for philosophical thinking come from the past and have to do with life experience and the way in which these are seen and reflected. This also influences our actions. Merkel and Obama are sitting in the Café de Flore. It seems like a conspiratorial meeting in a former location of the French existentialists. Does the spirit of that time inspire both in their political vision? By chance, Sartre, who had his public workplace here, is also there, often together with Simone de Beauvoir, an early advocate of equal rights for men and women. Sartre, always smoking a pipe, is lost in his thoughts. A mastermind of the painterly-artistic rebellion is also present. Together with Georges Braques, Picasso developed analytical Cubism in Paris. He dealt with questions of form by taking up simple geometric forms and artistically translating the relative phenomenon of space and time, theoretically formulated by Albert Einstein at the time, into simultaneous view.
