Interview and art book about Joseph Farrel, extreme kink French illustrator
BDSM illustration fans will instantly recognize the distinctively kinky pencil illustrations of Joseph Farrel, a kind of sadistic Hogarth, with leering characters that looks like no one else. There are several posts on this thread devoted to him
http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/sho...&postcount=477 http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/sho...&postcount=483 http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/sho...&postcount=491 http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/sho...&postcount=493 Recently there's been a fine art book, published in French, devoted to his work. It has a lot of text about Farrel, about whom we've known next to nothing, other than that he's been drawing for decades. There's an interview with the author/art critic who wrote the text, here: https://www.ayzad.com/news/media/boo...k-artist-ever/ dubbing him "the most extreme kink artist ever" -- me, I'm not sure about that, in fact I'm pretty sure that's he's not, but he's definitely out there. Here's a bit of the interview, which is interesting for collectors and bibliophiles: Q. Let’s start from the man himself. He had a rather prolific period in the Eighties, then his works dwindled to the point most people thought he had died; even the 2012 book looked like a posthumous collection featuring a bunch of apparently unfinished drawings. Now it turns out he was living in seclusion somewhere all along: what’s the actual story behind the disappearance? And, come to think of it, about the rest of his mysterious life?

Farrel is a crazy story. He has a very distinctive style, but then - he produced other work that looks very different. I assumed that the other work was ersatz, someone appropriating the name, but apparently is actually the same guy. I imagined that he’d died long ago . . . Wrong on all counts, at least at the time of the the writing of the post [2018]

Nowhere, so far as I know -- if you look at this thread, the "new" book was originally published 5 years ago, a very limited edition, I haven't seen a digital edition. So no longer "new".
To be clear, this book is an illustrated book about Farrel, by Christophe Bier. There's an interview with Bier on Youtube, including examples of pages. The interview is in French Code:
