Molnár’s Paris: Rue Hallé Permanent Home

In 1964, the Molnárs planned and constructed their own three-story home and studio on Rue Hallé. Vera later reminisced, “It was the Morellets who lent us money, plus the family and the bank, which meant that we were poor all our lives.” Despite this, it was a spacious and comfortable dream home, profoundly influencing Vera’s artistic journey. Reflecting on the past, she marvels, “Did I already have a table? My own? Which wasn’t half for me, half a desk for François, where I could leave my stuff? There were things I couldn’t do [before] that time because I didn’t have a table.”
