One day, little Maurice Baquet named his cello Cerébos, because it was a violin-salt. He was not yet ten years old and had long since stopped taking himself seriously. Then, he multiplied himself: he did agitprop with the Prevert brothers' group Octobre. He was an operetta singer, a film actor, a bit of a ski champion and a passionate mountaineer. One day, "Momo" when he grew up met Robert Doisneau who gave him two wings. Because a cello needs two wings. To pay tribute to the elusive and multifaceted Maurice Baquet, Hervé Bodeau designed a double Chinese portrait assembling words and images like pieces of a puzzle. Of two puzzles: A book and a photo album brought together in this box set.
