Love Train for the Tenebrous Empire: Clovis Trouille's Nun Art


The art of surrealist painter Clovis Trouille employs a catalog of highly personal imagery, plucked from sources ranging from Catholic iconography to advertising to erotica/pornography. One of the themes that runs through Trouille's work is that of the sexualized nun.


above piece:
"Dialogue au Carmel," 1944, featured at the Guggenheim in NYC.
