Entry Copyright © 2003, glbtq, inc.Reprinted fromhttp://www.glbtq.comCount Robert de Montesquiou was a writer during France's Belle Epoque, but he is best remembered as a
dandy and an aesthete, who inspired the literary creations of others.Born in Paris on March 7, 1855, into a family that traced its nobility back to the early middle ages,
Montesquiou boasted (quite truthfully) that he was "allied to the greater part of the European aristocracy."Montesquiou was equally proud of his intellectual and literary achievements, which, at least in his own
eyes, were considerable. He published eleven volumes of symbolist poetry, but contemporary critics found
his verses overly "precious" and posterity has been no kinder. Montesquiou also wrote two novels, three
volumes of memoirs, and a great deal of literary criticism.He befriended, encouraged, and supported numerous artists: painters such as Gustave Moreau, Edgar
Degas, and James McNeill Whistler; poets such as Paul Verlaine, Stéphane Mallarmé, and François Coppée;
and prose writers such as Adam Villiers de l'Isle-Adam and Marcel Proust.Montesquiou was one of the principal promoters of the Art Nouveau style in France, especially the work of
the glassmaker Émile Gallé. He crammed his home with so much artistic bric-à-brac that fellow aristocrat
Boni de Castellane remarked that he showed "less taste than imagination" as an interior decorator.Montesquiou was a well-known figure in Parisian high society. He entertained lavishly, although, as he
confessed, "I preferred my receptions to my guests, who may have noticed. . . . I gave parties for selfish
reasons, less to satisfy my guests than to please myself."In sum, Montesquiou's contemporaries generally considered him a dandy, an aesthete, and a snob. They
admired his stylishness, but found him pompous and even ridiculous; they flattered his ego because they
feared his savage wit, but they mocked him behind his back.Montesquiou's homosexual tendencies were patently obvious, but he may in fact have lived a chaste life. He
had no affairs with women, although in 1876 he reportedly once slept with the great actress SarahBernhardt, after which he vomited for twenty-four hours. (She remained a great friend.)He had aristocratic women friends, but much preferred the company of bright and attractive young men. In
1885, he began a close long-term relationship with Gabriel Yturri (1868-1905), a handsome South American
immigrant who became his secretary, companion, and possibly lover. After Yturri died of diabetes, Henri
Pinard replaced him as secretary in 1908 and eventually inherited Montesquiou's much reduced fortune.Montesquiou inspired the characters of Duke Jean Floressas des Esseintes in Joris-Karl Huysmans's novel
Against the Grain
(1884), Count de Muzarette in Jean Lorrain's novelMonsieur de Phocus
(1902), and thepeacock in Edmond Rostand's playChantecler
(1910), who pompously announces to the other barnyardanimals: "I am pleased to represent that Good Taste of which I am . . . the guardian."
However, Montesquiou is most remembered as the principal model for Baron Palamède de Charlus in Marcel
Proust's great novel,
Remembrance of Things Past
(1913-27, recently translated asIn Search of Lost Time
).If Charlus's physical appearance and homosexual predatoriness belonged in real life to Baron Jacques
Doasan, all Paris recognized Montesquiou in Charlus's arrogance and insolence, mannerisms, and voiceinflections.Montesquiou pretended not to notice and even praised Proust's work for its realistic treatment of
homosexuality, but he was in fact mortified, writing to a friend: "I have taken to bed, sick from the
publication of three volumes that have distressed me."Montesquiou died in Menton on the French Riviera on December 11, 1921. He was buried in Versailles next
to the faithful Yturri.BibliographyChaleyssin, Patrick.
