About the Publication: Jean Cocteau de l'Academie francaise, Theatre, Edition ornee par l'auteur de dessins in texte et de quarante lithographies originales en couleurs, tome II (Jean Cocteau of the French Academy, Theater, Edition Adorned by the Author with Text Drawings and Forty Original Lithographs in Colors, Volume II) stands among the most ambitious and luxurious Parisian printmaking achievements of the mid twentieth century, uniting Cocteau's theatrical writings with an extensive cycle of original color lithographs created expressly for this edition. Conceived and published by Editions Bernard Grasset, the project reflects the French tradition of the livre d'artiste, merging fine Garamond typography with masterful lithography executed by Atelier Mourlot Freres. Cocteau closely supervised not only the imagery but also the overall artistic conception—including layout, sequencing, and integration of text drawings—making the album a fully unified work shaped by the author's vision. Issued in multiple tirages, including luxury impressions on Madagascar and Velin de Rives and an edition on Verge de Voiron des Papeteries Navarre, the publication exemplifies the highest standards of mid-century Parisian bookmaking and lithographic craftsmanship. Today, it remains a cornerstone of Cocteau's printed oeuvre and a landmark in twentieth-century fine art publishing, admired for its synthesis of literature, visual art, and design. About the Artist: Jean Cocteau (1889–1963) was a French artist, poet, playwright, filmmaker, and designer whose boundless imagination and multidisciplinary genius made him one of the most influential cultural figures of the twentieth century. Born in Maisons-Laffitte near Paris, Cocteau emerged as a prodigy whose creative energy spanned literature, cinema, theater, music, and the visual arts, reshaping modern creativity through his conviction that beauty, myth, and imagination were universal languages. A central figure of the Parisian avant-garde, he moved among and collaborated with Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray—artists who, like Cocteau, were revolutionizing modern thought through bold experimentation. His early collaboration with Picasso and Erik Satie on Parade (1917) for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes signaled a new era of interdisciplinary art, merging music, design, and theater into a total work of imagination. Cocteau's visual art—characterized by fluid line drawings, mythological motifs, and lyrical simplicity—revealed a mastery of composition that blended classical elegance with modern abstraction. His murals for the Chapelle Saint-Pierre in Villefranche-sur-Mer and the Chapelle Saint-Blaise-des-Simples in Milly-la-Foret remain among the great achievements of sacred modern art, uniting spirituality with modernist form. His novels (Les Enfants Terribles), plays (La Machine Infernale, Les Parents Terribles), and films (La Belle et la Bete, Orphee, Le Testament d'Orphee) established him as a founding visionary of poetic cinema, influencing later directors such as Federico Fellini, Jean-Luc Godard, David Lynch, and Guillermo del Toro. His collaborations with Coco Chanel, Christian Dior, and Elsa Schiaparelli extended his influence into fashion and theater, while his partnership with Jean Marais inspired some of his most intimate creative work. Represented in major museums including the Centre Pompidou, the Musee Jean Cocteau in Menton, the Tate, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Cocteau remains celebrated for uniting art forms through elegance, imagination, and poetic clarity. His highest auction record was achieved by Jean Marais dans "La Belle et la Bete" (1946), which sold for 611,622 USD at Sotheby's Paris on October 18, 2023.
