The Invention of the Modern Mega-artist

Nicholas Foulkes

Beschreibung

It is said that asphyxiation brings on a state of hallucinatory intoxication... in which case the 71 year old artist who lay in his sprawling Provencal villa died happy. This book tells the story of a French figurative painter who tasted unprecedented critical and commercial success at an age when his contemporaries were still at art school.
