| Pierre-Paul Plan publishes in the February issue of the Revue Le Feu, a
article about my good friend Pierre
Girieud.
I will have other opportunities to talk to you about the work of this painter, but those who know him, he is even in Apt, will be very amused by the following lines, ironic, friendly and fair: "Girieud est tout ensemble a kid
very childish and a very august patriarch; a freedman and a tyrant. Filled with both joy and anger, enthusiastic, generous - and intransigent, with the intolerance of an inquisitor; this is king david
chanting and it is Torquemada; this is
Panurge and he is a Doge of Venice. Of the
that he will be rich, he will go and buy the city of Siena to install the abbey of Thelème there. »
Rich ! When will Girieud be i!
rich ? He's the only man I know that can spend a million
per day — without resoling his
boots.
