Felt-tip pen on paper

Marcel Drouin, known as Zizi
French nationality
Born in 1914

 
We do not know anything about this man who spent all his life in a hospice. His nickname is given to him because he has a speech impediment and speaks with a lisp.
 
Zizi is very religious and spends most of the time going to services. The drawings represent mostly architectures or animals. His favorite animal is a goat with anthropomorphic characteristics. (Zizi is a goat keeper for some time.) He uses felt-tip pen or lead pencils to draw on large envelopes used for X-rays.
