Le roi du maquillage
Untamable Whiskers
Georges Méliès 1904 France
A man keeps drawing self-portraits, but his own physical form keeps changing too.
A succession of sketches… sketch comedy? Funny, inventive, and it becomes increasingly interesting to see the drawings of what the artist is going to turn into. Generally gets more ambitious or more outrageous as it progresses, until eventually Méliès' frequent devil character appears and then disappears.
