CE TANT BIZARRE MONSIEUR ROPS
Thierry ZénoThrough various letters by painter and engraver Félicien Rops and fragments from the book Camille Lemonnier devoted to him, we penetrate the artist’s work: an often gruesome, at times amused account of 19th century morals; the subject matter is permeated by eroticism and haunted by death...
