Marcel Canguilhem (1895-1949) was a French draftsman, illustrator, poster artist, and sculptor (Landes), who lost his right arm during WWI, forcing him to retrain his left hand to continue working, hence his artist's name; he often explored the themes of war (poilus, the hospital) and sport (bullfighting, corrida, rugby), often with humor.
