Abstract (en)

Discusses Puvis's caricatures, satirical drawings and grotesques, produced throughout his career (1848-1898), as small manifestoes that bear on the mainstream of his production. Argues that these private drawings provide an index to his better known works, explaining much about his deliberate choice of themes and general aesthetic, what he painted and what he noted but would not paint.
