René Gruau "...I was practically born holding a pen between my fingers, I started tracing shapes which recalled women's legs at an age when female anatomy was not at all interesting to me. Probably I was not more than five or six years old. I think that it all came from the fact that when I was a child I loved to leaf through the Paris fashion magazines my mother left scattered around the house: of course they had illustrations of women sometimes wearing lingerie or see-through negligés (...) I was fascinated by shapes, lines, graphic signs which lured my observing and precocious eye" René Gruau, 1994
