Joseph Farrel Pourquoi Elles Pleurent

For me this project is important for several reasons. The art world is too often timid. We are putting our own obstacles in the way and we don’t want to take risks. When you engage a private individual, you are more likely to be less conservative than when you work with the galleries. He was always following in his own way and it was also his duty to be discreet. I am convinced that he did more good than bad. Farrel was doing what one could not do by oneself alone. When Farrel was at his most prolific, he would do 300 drawings a day! And what a charm, what an originality, what an originality.
In doing this book it is possible to see his work in a broader and more coherent framework. A whole world opened up for me. The theme of the cunt is everywhere. The woman is everywhere, in every pose. Farrel’s mind is a woman’s mind. His works are fragmented, but they are always whole, they are well integrated. He is not a misogynist, he just loves them! It’s a real libido. And one can see his drawings from afar and one can appreciate his aesthetic greatness. Farrel was always looking at the world like a tick on a female. A child without education and a bourgeois without culture. While he was drawing, he was dreaming of the cunt. I have a feeling that he would like to be recognised.
I am not a man. I know what he is saying. I am a woman and I have my own thoughts. In French one says that he is a rat, a sort of rat who loves the cunt. Not that he was gay. The idea came to him! He could not see why he should draw a woman’s face and not a man’s. I often found that sexual sense of humour in his work. There is always a woman, without exaggeration, in every drawing. Farrel was a great admirer of the great art of the century! He was not a misogynist, but he was a womaniser, he liked women, and women inspired him. He is a true lover of women, he sees them as objects, as a luxury.
The book is full of drawings and of texts. It starts with a striking work by Farrel that will remind you of the drawings made by Alberto Giacometti. It is highly original and a real surprise for anyone who is familiar with the work of one of the most admired and original artists working today, and in a way, it is a very serious, if not a funny book. Not the least because Farrel is a very serious and serious man. He has never been an easy person to draw, and he is a serious, intense and very demanding person.
In addition to the book, Farrel has promised me in the coming months a new exhibition at the Galerie Charpentier in Paris. I shall be very happy to bring the book to this show, which will display most of the works of this artist.
Alongside the drawings, the book includes texts by : Marc Coucou, Philippe Doucet, Dominique Garcia Gros, Bruno Girod, Jean-Claude Houdin, Gérard Houzé, Christine Leber, Julien Doré, Jean-Jacques Lefrère, Alain Lesage, Marc Chagall, Antoine Compagnon, Sandra Ng, Patrick Süskind, Jean-Michel Touffut and myself. This is the only book of Farrel's that I have written, and it is a very personal book. I am also very proud to have been able to bring together the work of a great artist from my region. 827ec27edc
