JEAN COCTEAU (1889-1963) LE TESTAMENT D'ORPHEE. 1959. 62 1/2x46 1/2 inches, 158 3/4x118 cm. Bedos & cie., Paris. Condition B+: creases and abrasions in margins and image; restoration and overpainting along vertical and horizontal folds. For half a century, the brilliant and charming Jean Cocteau was one of the pillars of the Parisian artistic scene. He was an artist, painter, writer and movie director. Wizard of the Boeuf sur le Toit and friend of the Cubists and Surrealists, he was everywhere that something artistically new and important was taking place. For this movie about a poet travelling through time seeking knowledge, he was not only the writer and director, but also starred in the film (as himself) and designed the poster. This is the larger format.
