Erik Satie (1866-1925) needs no introduction, but he too was born in Honfleur, where the house where he was born is a tribute to his life and highly unconventional mind. As the leaflet advertising his house(s) says, he collaborated with such people as Picasso, Picabia, Braque, Cocteau and René Clair, and influenced such people as Debussy, Ravel and Stravinsky. To remind, among his most noted musical works are Trois Gymnopédies (1888), Six Gnossiennes (1890-97), Trois morceaux en forme de poire (1911), Sports et Divertissements (1914), Parade (1917) and Socrate (1919). Unsurprisingly, there is a representation outside of him as the 'fonctionnaire bourgeois' with his bowler hat and umbrella.
