Item description from seller

Exhibition announcement card. --- ' Jean Schwind (1935-1985), the most infamous and enigmatic figure in Belgian art of the 1970s, is the pseudonym of Jean Warie. He studies Romance Philology at Ghent University, and from 1966 to 1972 is an academic assistant there. In 1969 he has his first solo exhibition - somber drawings in black-and-white - at the Brussels gallery Fitzroy, of which he was a co-founder. The following year he presents a one-night-only exhibition of large-format erotic drawings. The exhibition subsequently travels to Ghent, Antwerp and Paris, and is meant as provocation.
