Additional Information
Artist: Jean Cocteau (1889-1963)
Born in Maisons-Laffitte in 1889, Jean Cocteau was a French writer and playwright, but he carried out a multifaceted activity, dedicating himself to poetry and the novel, to theater and cinema, to painting and drawing, illustrating many of his books. In his copious production we find traces of all the avant-garde movements, which he attempted more as an experimenter than as a true and convinced adherent. He followed with curiosity the movement of the French avant-garde cinema and contributed to the notoriety of the second avant-garde. He was one of the liveliest and most discussed personalities of contemporary literature, a member of the Académie Française since 1955. His versatility, originality and enormous expressive capacity brought him international acclaim. Cocteau died in 1963 in Milly-la For.Age: 20th Century / 1901 - 2000
