...trying to film a movie called Gigot, about a lovable deaf-mute bum whose best friend is an alley cat. In the first scene, the cat is supposed to hear an alarm clock, wake up, and then rouse his deaf ami by licking his face. But the first dozen Parisian alley cats had flunked their screen tests.

Lafleur's "nutritive period" works skyrocket from 12,000 francs to 10 million. Even one of his "starvation period" paintings "radiates the equivalent of a small glass of milk." As the press and art critics rave, the public riots for its share of edible...
