Title : The Master of Peacocks - Jean-Pierre Milovanoff - book

Summary :

In the early sixties, I knew a man in the south of France who painted peacocks. Nothing but peacocks. When people asked him why he didn't change his subject, he said that the bodies of young girls offer less diversity than the peacock displaying its tail. I don't know if this argument is valid or if the painter, irritated by a question that kept coming up, got rid of it with a pirouette. What is certain is that nothing interested him more than competing, brush in hand, with the insane shimmer of Creation. Thus he brought the art of painting peacocks to a degree of perfection that had not been achieved before him. Now that he is dead, he is said to have been the first peacock painter in the world and a place is being prepared for him in museums. He is called the Master of the Peacocks.
