Quand D'artagnan se prend pour
Cazaux is an artist trained in the street and who has lived from the street without ever abandoning his princely elegance, dressing with flair and without once sleeping under the star-filled sky. A man who has lived an adventurous life while drawing portraits and cartoons on the pavement cafés and exhibited his travel watercolours in the great palaces of the four corners of the world. From the smoke-filled hovels of the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul to the muffled palaces of the meridian hotels, Cazaux is true to form with his straw hat and handlebar moustache. He parades his humour and his anti-establishment good-naturedness everywhere he goes. From Lepers street in Casablanca to the jails of King Hassan II passing through Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Italy and the islands of the Adriatic; taken in by a sect in Tahiti, we find him exhibiting at a top hotel in Mauritius. Struck down by cholera in Tunis, he takes himself off to the Canaries. His travels around the world are so frenetic that it's sometimes a job to keep up with him. In Istanbul, he draws in brothels under the red lights with the agreement of the lodgers who get their customers to buy their portraits; he needs the money to pay for his hotel room that evening. In Greece he is caught up in the crowd and the tear gas of the police who charge the demonstrators protesting against the dictatorship of the Colonels. In Crete, he bribes the policemen by offering
to do their portraits, in Las Palmas he has to give them money. In Rome he draws in the luxury hotels of the Via Veneto by bribing the waiters. In Cairo, he refuses to do the portrait of King Farouk and appears before a counter-espionage inquiry, which accuses him of being an Israeli spy. In Luxor, he draws one of actress Mia Farrow's children sitting on Serge Gainsbourg's knees and finds himself in the middle of the filming of "Death on the Nile". On the island of Reunion, he appears at a conference of lawyers, presided over by Alain Peyrefitte, wearing a slipover with a paper knot stuck on his chest in place of a dinner jacket. In the hold of a ship called the Akdeniz, he reaches Andalusia. In short, follow the tracks of Cazaux, he will give you no rest!.
