The writer Octave Mirbeau, a close friend of Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro, shared the artists’ enthusiasm for gardens. Pissarro painted the garden that Mirbeau planted in Les Damps in Normandy as a celebration of colors. This bourgeois idyll stands in contrast to Mirbeau’s antiauthoritarian and antibourgeois writing.
