Pascin is portrayed by Sfar both as a kindred spirit and an aesthetic revolutionary struggling to redefine an art form. Sfar revels in the artist's celebration of all things corporeal in the world of art. Though the story is drenched in sex, it is never eroticized. Created in a direct and immediate drawing style, Sfar focuses more on the artist's personal and sexual life than on his art, and brings Pascin to life as the ultimate bohemian.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoann Sfar\u003c\/b\u003e is considered one of the most important artists of the new wave of European comics.
