| Summary: | Writings on the artist and convict Francis Lagrange (1901-1964) often integrate fiction he himself created. This figure spent a lot of time indeed reinventing his life. The purpose of this article is to detect truth from false in the life of this man condemned to the penal colony in French Guiana in 1927.
