"Loosely based on the life of the painter Francis Bacon, Tableau finale de amour tells the story of an uncompromising, visceral, even dangerous artistic quest. In a Europe crossed by two wars, the vision of a radical artist prevails whose entire work, obsessed with the body, resonates like a cry. Addressing the lover who served as his model - this "inexperienced little thief" who, in the middle of the night, broke into his studio - the narrator recounts the wanderings of their tumultuous relationship. With this novel, reminiscent of the eroticism of Bataille or Leiris, Larry Tremblay continues his work of exposing human beings. It was not necessary to paint the surface of things, but what it was hiding. Not to paint space, but time. Do not paint your body, but his death." --
