Lacaze-Duthiers, an art critic for the Symbolist review journal La Plume, was influenced by Oscar Wilde, Nietzsche and Max Stirner. His (1906) L'Ideal Humain de l'Art helped found the 'Artistocracy' movement - a movement advocating life in the service of art.[1] His ideal was an anti-elitist aestheticism: "All men should be artists".[2] Together with André Colomer and Manuel Devaldes, he founded L'Action d'Art, an anarchist literary journal, in 1913.[3]
He was a contributor to the Anarchist Encyclopedia. After World War II he contributed to the journal L'Unique.[4]
