Amusing note by Huysmans on his name card

“Ouf ! Rentré “

Joris-Karl Huysmans is a writer and art critic. Defender of naturalism in its early days (he was part of Les Soirées de Médan alongside, among others, Zola and Maupassant). He parted with this school to explore the new possibilities offered by symbolism and became the main representative of aesthetics at the end of the 19th century.
