Léon-Paul Fargue, born in Paris in 1876, became friends with many artists, musicians, and writers who frequented the cabarets of Montmartre. While he became known as a chronicler of the high society and popular life of Paris during the Belle Époque, he was above all a poet of tenderness and a restrained lyricism that most often took the form of nostalgia. This love of the past, of the vanished, is found here in the portraits he paints of the great elders of literature and painting, from Ovid to Joyce, from Goya to Whistler.
