MICHEL HENRICOT

      Though Henricot is best known for his mummified figures, he has also dedicated a significant part of his oeuvre to the genre of the landscape.
      "My landscapes could be the dwelling places for the beings I paint," he says. "They are stoney landscapes, excavation sites, and subterranean places which I gradually bring to light." (60)
      Typically, Henricot paints barren and desolate places, like stone mausoleums on the edge of the desert. Quadrangular tombs are cut into rocks, abandoned passages are guarded by desert hounds, and the lengthening shadows of the setting sun are obscured by sandstorms.
      These shadowlands are so pervaded by death that one of them (simply entitled Landscape) depicts a distant mountain range in the shape of a human skull in horizontal profile (a veritable Golgotha or 'the place of the skull'.)

Poumeyrol shares with Margotton a fascination for the interior landscape, where dimly illuminated grottos resonate with the remains of past epochs. And yet, his barren and abandoned spaces are often redolent with signs of the artists' own lost memories.
JEAN-MARIE POUMEYROL		In his early works, Jean-Marie Poumeyrol was recognized as a master of erotica, combining hallucinogenic and macabre imagery in an unparalleled manner (for example, Sabbat. This and other erotic works will be presented in Part II).       But, in his maturity, the artist has displayed a marked fascination for landscapes, particularly the enclosed spaces of sewers, industrial waste and disposal plants.
Yet, the amazing accuracy and finesse of rendering which enlivened his early works has not left him and, if anything, only increased with age.       Poumeyrol was born in 1946 and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bordeaux. Upon graduation he already had a four year old son to support, and so began his illustrious career as a teacher of mechanical draftsmanship (his
