Sapeck (Eugène Bataille) (born in Mans in 1854) was a French proto-performance artist who was known to travel the streets with his head painted blue. In the first show of the Incoherents in 1882, he contributed an 'augmented' Mona Lisa (Mona Lisa smoking a pipe) that directly prefigures the famous Marcel Duchamp image L.H.O.O.Q. of 1919.
