Paul-Émile Bécat
Paul-Émile Bécat (2 February 1885 – 1 January 1960 in Paris) was a French painter, printmaker and engraver, and was awarded first prize in the Prix de Rome in 1920. He was a student of Gabriel Ferrier and François Flameng and exhibitioned at the Salon de Paris in 1913. Returning from his travels to the Congo, Gabon, and the Sudan, he specialised from 1933 in the technique of drypoint in his erotic works. Today he is best known for his portraits of French writers, and for his erotic works.

gollark: How do you even implement that without horribleness?
gollark: Some offense <@!160279332454006795>.
gollark: It does not. It was written several months ago and is really quite bad.
gollark: For some reason CraftOS-PC just says it can't mount the ROM whenever I try to use it, even though my ROM folder exists and is readable and I tried directly passing it the path to it.
gollark: I had to add some horrible hacks to the VFS redirection logic to mmake it work at all.
