Hotel La Louisiane
Hotel La Lousiane is a hotel on Rue de Seine in Paris, France. It is most associated with jazz musicians of the 1950s and 1960s. Oscar Peterson, Miles Davis, Bud Powell, Max Roach, Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey, Billie Holiday, Lester Young and Charlie Parker all stayed at the hotel. In the early 1960s, Powell and his wife Buttercup resided at the hotel for a long period.
In 1954, a double of portrait of Lucian Freud, "in shadow against the light from the window, with his second wife, Caroline Blackwood" was painted in the hotel. It is on display at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in Fredericton, Canada.
