C'est Louis-Ferdinand Céline qui proposera à Eliane Bonabel de dessiner des danseurs aux cours de danse de Lucette Almansor (qu'il épousera en 1943), célèbre Ballerine et professeur de danse classisque.
C'est grâce à ce travail d'Eliane Bonabel que Céline lui proposera 20 ans plus tard d'illustré "Ballets sans musique, sans personne, sans rien".
C'est le grand expressionniste Gen Paul qui se servait des danseurs comme modèles pour sa peinture qui fera découvrir le lieu à Céline.

Certificate of Authenticity
As suggested by Louis-Ferdinand Céline Eliane Bonabel issued a series of drawings at the Waker Academy of Dance in Paris (Thanks to Gen Paul, the last great French Expressionist and friend of Celine, who took dancers as models for his paintings, Celine will discover this place.)
The Dancing lessons were managed by Lucette Almansor that Celine married in 1943. These drawings related to dancing were used later on, as sketches for the illustrations of "Ballets without music, without dancers, without anything".
Thanks to Gen Paul (The last great French Expressionist and friend of L-F Celine), who took dancers as models for his paintings, Celine will discover this place.
