Resumen de Céline, Elstir et le Christ

Jean-Louis Cornille

• Céline advertised his ignorance of painting, but his last works, which attack first Proust through Elstir, then Delacroix through the Crucifixion, are as painterly as Cobra — while his intertextualities may ultimately aim at Barbey d'Aurevilly, whose le "Chevalier Des Touches" imposed a pseudonym for Destouches' painterly name.
