Jarry and I would skip a few classes and go exploring in Paris. The church towers, the girls, the streets, under the windy skies full of horseback riding... We also began to go and see paintings at painters' houses and at exhibitions. At one of these, at Durand-Ruel's, we met Gauguin around 1895.
In so few words, Fargue says it all. And everything is there of this Paris with its quivering decor, straddling two centuries. The young man, barely twenty years old, who is not yet The Pedestrian of Paris, nor even the man of Tancrède, discovers the world of the artistic avant-gardes with an exalted eye, shining with his lively complicity with Jarry. If the painters are summoned, and we come across Gauguin, Lautrec, Bonnard or Vuillard, all the effervescence of the capital transpires in these chronicles as accurate as they are delicious and profound.
