Voided Into Being < La merde à la mer !

.
Recently, we blogged (here) about Piero Manzoni's renowned Merda d' artista aka Artist's Shit aka Künstlerscheisse aka Merde d'Artiste of May 1961.



In relation to the above, we further offer this 1898 sequence of four photos by the Parisian art gallery owner Maurice Joyant showing Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec voiding into being his very own merde à la mer.

These come from the website The Esoteric Curiosa (here) where there are also other photos of Toulouse-Lautec that may interest, as well as detailed information about the performance shown below.
