[Composer, after an Orgy] Villon, Jacques . (1875-1963) [YON-LUG (1864-1921)]. Yon-Lug après une Nuit d'Orgie - ORIGINAL SIGNED DRAWING.

Undated but ca. 1900. 12.8 x 19.3 cm.
Constant JACQUET, known as YON-LUG (1864-1921) was a Lyonnaise composer and singer who was a fixture in the cabaret scene of Montmartre. A regular performer at the Cabaret des Quat'z Arts and Moulin-Rouge, the name by which he was known was taken from his birthplace: "Yon" for "Lyon" and "Lug" from "Lugdunum."
The French cubist painter and printmaker, Jacques Villon, elder brother of Marcel Duchamp, Raymond Duchamp-Villon and Suzanne Duchamp-Crotti, moved to Montmartre in 1894, adopting his pseudonym as a tribute to the French medieval poet François Villon. In Montmartre, home to an expanding art community, Villon lost interest in the pursuit of a legal career he had promised his father, and for the next 10 years he worked in graphic media, contributing cartoons and illustrations to Parisian newspapers as well as drawing color posters. He moved away from Montmartre in 1906 and it is likely that the present drawing was accomplished before that date.
