FELICIEN ROPS – DE L’IRONIE ARTISTIQUE A LA CRISE DE LA MODERNITE
FELICIEN ROPS - FROM ARTISTIC IRONY TO THE CRISIS OF MODERNITY

Summary/Abstract: The Belgian illustrator, engraver and painter Félicien Rops is an ironic, destructive and evil spirit. His irony is a double irony: an irony of the decadence of a century and at the sametime an author’s self-irony. Our study tries to highlight that his works are creations which hide in their ironic humour a tragic imperceptible which sends to the greatness but especially to the decadence of his century.
