"Garden and Henhouse at Octave Mirbeau's, Les Damps," Camille Pissaro, 1892.

Jacob Abraham Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) was a Danish-French Impressionist was born on the island of St. Thomas, in the Virgin Islands, at the time a Danish possession. He was one of the absolute great artists of his time, developing from Impressionism to Post-Impressionism to Neo-Impressionism and heaven knows what else. Plus, his progeny includes a number of artists, including a grandchild currently living and still producing art.

Octave Mirbeau (1848-1917) was a prominent French journalist and art critic who was a friend and champion of Pissaro and others like Renoir, Bonnard, Van Gogh, Rodin, Monet, Cezanne, Gauguin...so many recognizable names. He was also a playwright and novelist, of works that were fairly scandalous in their day (and still have a punch today). I've read his "Diary of a Chambermaid" and it's quite an experience. He was a major figure in the Decadent and avant-garde movements.

But dang, he had a nice house.

@Sardonicus @philosophy and just how right was he #OctaveMirbeau

The Garden of Torment, a 1976 French film based on Octave Mirbeau’s 1899 novel.

Set in China in the 1920s, the warlord era.

Erotic, arty, provocative, disturbing and convincingly decadent. The main female character is both evil and weirdly sympathetic.

There’s definitely a strong de Sade influence here.

Very highly recommended.
