I met Farrel in 2012 because I had to write a preface to his latest drawings collection, Pourquai pleurent-elles?. I had always been fascinated by his drawings. When I discovered him and was able to gather a large number of originals, many of which were unpublished, the idea of publishing a deluxe book immediately imposed itself. He was 78 then and it was time to spot the light on this discreet artist, to tell who he was and to comment his work, to explain how unique he was. The ambition was to celebrate him and to get him out of the tired ghetto of the sex shops for which he had always worked.
