| biography:
| Cabaret singer, born in Courtenay, C France. From a family of architects, he took up music and wrote songs that were realistic, in slang, or anarchistic, such as ‘Mini Peau de Chien’, for the cabaret of the Chat Noir. His silhouette, with its red scarf and hat, was immortalized by Toulouse-Lautrec in many posters, including that for his cabaret, L'Ambassadeur. He also wrote a novel, La Loupiote. |
