Nico Claux - French Artist

[Scáthach]

while Nico may not be a prized citizen or anyone's idea of a good guy for obvious reasons (i did correspond with him for a while last year and found him to be charming and intelligent though) his art does speak for itself. its not at all to my taste but his portraits are excellent.

as i say, perhaps not a great role model lol but this article isn't bad for an overall view of Claux.

Claux: "There's a parallel between art and murder. They are both a quest for Aestheticism, and they both give me strange godlike feelings. Art is creation and murder is annihilation. I have mastered both these tools maybe that's why so many killers become avid artists when they are in prison. They try to compensate the urge to kill with the power to create. Creation and destruction delivered by the same hands."

He seems a little bit timid compared with Mengele. I like the way he described his first experience with a corpse however.

He is really a great example of how a human being can be beyond good and evil but I still retain the opinion that he is nothing compared to the blonde beast or the angle of death.

just so you know , nico isn't the type to care about race, i imagine if one asked him he'd simply say he hates everyone equally, regardless of race. he is an interesting man though and a talented artist

[Grimr]

He has a love for the ancient and mystical, he talks about ethnology to one of his criminal pen pals. He seems like a Thule man to me. Also his hatred for things, this could be turned into a worship of the many evils of Nazism, the evils that many modern neo-nazis despise but I could imagine a psychopath admiring them! Such evils as the concentration camps, the myths of the gas chambers and primitive eugenics could interest such an individual.

He doesn't strike me as a great man, he seems like a lesser man to other interesting hell bound people like Crowley, Levy or indeed Manson...

yes there are certainly aspects of NS that would appeal to him i imagine but overall i don't think he could ever be dedicated becuase quite simply , he cares about his own survival and himself - not that of the nation or race.
as for Manson, am i to assume you mean Charles? he is another interesting character, more of a svengali i suppose, he interests me but i dont see any vast intelligence in him, he is really quite deluded.
i think the most intelligent serial killer (the previous two werent serial killers but anyway) would have to be Ian Brady, a very interesting man. Nathan Leopold, the murderer, had an IQ of 210 which is impressive too.

he cares about his own survival and himself - not that of the nation or race.

No, I think you have misjudged him; a man that brakes into houses of the dead because of disturbing emotions cares more of his dedication to his ideas than he does his own survival.

Charles Manson and Marilyn Manson are both musicians. Charles Manson is a very interesting person to me, because he prophesized the destruction of the white race to Rolling Stone magazine in an interview! Also the reported described him as a Cajun Christ I find that very interesting.

no i am being honest with you here - i have corresponded with Nico, himself and i can tell you that he is not interested in race. Maybe he will be one day but im not sure i see it happening. i agree that he is very dedicated to his ideas and desires but so was Brady and despite his intelligence it still lead him to kill 5 children (well one teenager) - just because someone is dedicated to their own beliefs doesn't neccesarily mean they can be equated with someone dedicated to the survival of their race or any other noble cause.

yep i know who charles and marilyn are, and neither of them are of great interest to me. i have read a fair bit about the Family and their case and the notion of ''Helter Skelter'' . i think charles is intelligent but so emotionally deranged that i dont respect him - lol his instigating murder didn't do much for his credibility with me either!

Ok, can you elaborate on what happened in your contact with Nico?
