"Works of art are received and valued on different planes.
Two polar types stand out: with one, the accent is on the cult value;
with the other, on the exhibition value of the work"*
*Walter Benjamin
"The work of art in the age of mechanical reproduction"

disappointment!

I have not found much

critical material on the web about him,

some photos, and limited amount 

of his paintings; mostly copyright by the sources.

"If kitsch rivals reality while simultaneously imitating its effects, then the truth of kitsch exists in its realized fabrication. Gillo Dorfles disparaged kitsch for its falsified nature: "if we have to recognize the mass-production of industrial objects originally intended for such treatment as perfectly authentic, we must regard all reproductions of unique works which were conceived as unrepeatable as the equivalent of real forgeries." [10]   Whether copying a pre-existing work of art or assembling a pretense of reality, the straightforwardness of kitsch belies its inherent contradiction as a "real forgery." (seemimesis)" *

' ...But Faustroll crouched over the baboon, spreading his four limbs out on the ground  and strangling

him from behind. Bosse de-Nage made a sign that he wished to speak, and , when the doctor had relaxed

grip of his fingers, said in two words: "Ha ha " and these were the last two words he uttered.

Concerning the death of a number of people, and more especially of Bosse -De- Nage'

Once , I knew a fine song,

-It is true, believe me,-

It was all of birds,

And I held them in a basket;

When I opened  the wicket,

Heavens! they all flew away.

I cried :  "Come back, little thoughts! "

But they only laughed.

They flew on

Until they were as sand

Thrown between me and the sky.

"....The world speaks through its images in an inarticulate way, and each sequence of moving icons is either
illusory or stripped of all meaning.....these are mere images  whose eloquence confers a power of illusion."
