The stock theatrical character Pierrot is an enduring figure in French visual art, where he emerges at the intersection of theatricality and the marketplace. This book offers an account of Pierrot’s recurrence in painting, prints, photography and film, tracing this distinctive type from the art of Watteau to the cinema of Occupied France. -- .
