The Fontaine Béla-Bartók features a jagged, upright stone slab carved with the likeness of the Hungarian composer. It stands in the middle of a small, paved square, surrounded by low metal railings. Sculptor Imre Varga designed the monument, which the city of Paris installed in nineteen eighty. The stone bears an expression of intense focus, reflecting Bartók’s dedication to folk music research. It remains a quiet focal point in the neighborhood, drawing those who know the composer's work and his time living in Paris.
