EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in art history. The image showcases a print of the celebrated hoax that took place at the Salon des Independants in 1910. The painting, titled "Et le soleil fell asleep sur l Adriatic" was signed by the enigmatic "Excessive Futurist Painter". Boronali. What makes this artwork truly remarkable is its unconventional creation process. The canvas was not painted by an esteemed artist's hand but rather with a brush attached to the tail of Lolo, the beloved donkey mascot of Montmartre's Le Lapin Agile cabaret. This audacious experiment was initiated by writer Roland Dorgeles. To everyone's astonishment, Boronali's masterpiece became an instant success at the salon. It garnered such admiration that it sold for an impressive sum of 20 Louis d'Or (equivalent to approximately 1500 euros today). Dorgeles selflessly donated these proceeds to benefit the Orphanage of Arts. Today, this iconic piece resides as part of the permanent collection exhibited at Milly la Foret's Paul Bedu Cultural Centre. The name "Boronali" itself holds significance as it is an anagram derived from Aliboron, which refers to La Fontaine's fables featuring a donkey character. In this intriguing photo, we also catch glimpses of other mystifiers involved in this joyful masquerade, including cabaret singer Coccinelle and Father Frede - owner of Lolo and animator of Le Rabbit Agile cabaret - who can be seen feeding his cherished animal companion. Photographed by Patrice Cartier under French copyright law, this image preserves a fascinating chapter in art history where creativity transcended traditional boundaries and left audiences captivated by its whimsical charm.
