I like Tremois&#8217;s work a great deal so it&#8217;s good to find these pages from his 1971 edition of Baudelaire&#8217;s <em>Les Fleurs du Mal<\/em>. There were ten illustrations in all, some of them in the clear-line etching style familiar from his many prints. The Tremois edition is unusual in having some (all?) the poems written out by the artist. He&#8217;s also one of the few illustrators to do justice to Baudelaire&#8217;s scandalous lesbian verses by showing women who actually seem attracted to one another. Earlier illustrators\u2014if they depicted the theme at all\u2014were much more coy.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/tremois2.jpg\" alt=\"tremois2.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/tremois3.jpg\" alt=\"tremois3.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/tremois4.jpg\" alt=\"tremois4.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/tremois5.jpg\" alt=\"tremois5.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/tremois6.jpg\" alt=\"tremois6.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/tremois7.jpg\" alt=\"tremois7.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere on { feuilleton }<br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/the-illustrators-archive\/\">The illustrators archive<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Previously on { feuilleton }<br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2014\/09\/04\/victor-delhezs-fleurs-du-mal\/\">Victor Delhez\u2019s Fleurs du Mal<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2014\/09\/03\/raphael-drouarts-fleurs-du-mal\/\">Rapha\u00ebl Drouart\u2019s Fleurs du Mal<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2014\/09\/02\/tony-george-rouxs-fleurs-du-mal\/\">Tony George-Roux\u2019s Fleurs du Mal<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2014\/09\/01\/percy-walter-wolffs-die-vorholle\/\">Percy Walter Wolff\u2019s Die Vorh\u00f6lle<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2011\/03\/08\/the-art-of-mario-laboccetta\/\">The art of Mario Laboccetta<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2008\/03\/11\/carlos-schwabes-fleurs-du-mal\/\">Carlos Schwabe\u2019s Fleurs du Mal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple of works by Pierre-Yves Tr\u00e9mois appeared in one of the very first posts here back in 2006 as part of the feature that began the long-running Recurrent Pose series.
