Monsieur
X must have been close, friendly, and generous with the ladies. What is amazing
is that the girls seem very relaxed in the pictures—they are actually having
fun. There are even outdoor pictures taken on the banks of the Marne. He also
directed two ten-minute short films, shot both outdoors and indoors.
these two pieces really revealed his biggest fantasy: putting two girls together. One played a modest girl, while the other tried to be a striker. There's
also a lot of similarities to Gustave Courbet's The Origin of the
World. He also liked pretty
exhibitionists. Or E. J. Bellocq—the New Orleans photographer who was also a regular customer of a
local brothel, eventually making friends with the girls so that he could take
any picture he wanted.
