Like [[Montmartre]], few places have ever housed such artistic talent as found at La Ruche. At one time or another in those early years of the 20th century, [[Guillaume Apollinaire]], [[Alexander Archipenko]], [[Joseph Csaky]], [[Gustave Miklos]], {{Ill|Alexandre Altmann|fr}}, [[Ossip Zadkine]], [[Moise Kisling]], [[Marc Chagall]], [[Max Pechstein]], [[Nina Hamnett]], [[Yitzhak Frenkel|Isaac Frenkel Frenel]],<ref>{{Cite web |title=New art exhibit salutes work of pioneer Isaac Alexander Frenkel |url=https://www.jpost.com/must/article-819308 |access-date=2024-09-17 |website=The Jerusalem Post {{!}} JPost.com |language=en}}</ref> [[Fernand Léger]], [[Jacques Lipchitz]], [[Pinchus Kremegne]], [[Max Jacob]], [[Blaise Cendrars]], [[Chaïm Soutine]], [[Robert Delaunay]], [[Amedeo Modigliani]], [[Constantin Brâncuși]], [[Micheal Farrell]], [[Amshey Nurenberg]], [[Diego Rivera]], [[Marie Vorobieff|Marevna]], [[Luigi Guardigli]], [[Miklos Bokor]], [[Michel Sima]], [[Marek Szwarc]], [[José Balmes]], [[Gracia Barrios]], [[Wacław Zawadowski]], [[Kazimierz Brandel]], and others, called the place home or frequented it.
