David Getsy, in a 2011 discussion on WBEZ, "Exploring gay art and artists at the Art Institute of Chicago", suggests that we see Paris as encompassing a variety of relationships and allowing for various degrees of intimacy as people walk together and singly under umbrellas in the rain.













"several people who saw the series when it first came out–including Linda Benedict-Jones, the survey’s curator–have told me that they didn’t immediately get the homosexual subtext, although they could tell there was something promisingly queer, in the older sense, about the work. That means that the series itself, as a work of art, played the same game of partial signs and obfuscations that its subjects are engaging in."
