A great lover and connoisseur of painting, no less learned in his passion for poetry, Alain Planès enjoys a career in his own image: right from the start he has followed the path of life rather than the siren songs of a glory that demands too many compromises.

With the second, a certain intellectual dandyism, a form of refined cynicism that nonetheless does not sacrifice tenderness.
