INTIMATE

In order to convey the spirit of certain particular imaginations, Ghabor has received allegorical photographs of varying degrees of explicitness from certain correspondents, which play on the smooth Barbie images. On occasion, a request has been made to transpose them into real life. The playful aspect of all this will not escape anyone.

CULTURAL CONTEXT

Roger delivering Angelica is a painting by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres in 1819, inspired by a song in Ariosto's Orlando furioso.

Angelica is a heroine of Boiardo, then of Ariosto's Roland furioso. A princess from the kingdom of Cathay in India, she was brought to France by Roland, who wanted her to fall in love with him. However, as she did not love him, she took advantage of the defeat of the Christians to escape from her many suitors, to whom Renaud, Ferragus and Sacripant were added. But she is captured by pirates who abandon her on an island to be fed to the Orc Marine. Roger intervenes on the Hippogriffe to save her.
