The desire of Clément Cadou was to become a writer, he spent his time reading books, trying to discover the secrets of the great masters of literature. His parents were proud of him and tried to facilitate it in any way, already seeing the future of his brilliant novelist said. One day the father succeeded in invite to dinner the great Polish writer Witold Gombrowicz. For Clément this was the realization of a dream, at the age of fifteen he knew pretty well the work of Gombrowicz, a production that had impressed him. But during the evening sitting together at his same table the young Clément did not utter a word, he was so impressed to see Gombrowicz inside their apartment that he ended up feeling literally a piece of the furniture of the room where they supped. From that day he saw completely annihilated his aspiration as a writer, so he decided to start painting. Painting furniture and every painting had the title “Self Portrait”.

We don’t know if the story of Clément Cadou is real or  just purely invented and his paintings still remain impossible to find.
