Biography
Fau was born in Poitiers in 1858.[1] He produced copious illustrations under the pseudonym "Fanfare". He made the illustrations for the drama by Ferny "Le Secret du manifestant" at the "shadow show" in the cabaret Le Chat Noir.[2] He also illustrated the shadow show Une Affaire d'honneur by Jules Jouy at Le Chat Noir.[3] In 1890 Le Chat Noir put on his Idylle, a revue in one act with music by Charles de Sivry.[4] His illustrations appeared in the Chat Noir humorous magazine and also in Le Rire. He illustrated many children's books throughout his career,[1] and was a satirist.[5] Fau was also versed in Art Nouveau, and exhibited at the Salon des Cent in 1895.[6]
Fernand Fau died in Paris in 1915.[1]
