Item Details
Description
In the 1950's and 1960's, French printing company Mourlot Freres printed fine quality posters created by famous French artists such as Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse. This dynamic image by Jean Cocteau was created for an exhibition of the artist's works on display in Cannes in 1961. Unfortunately, there is little information on Galerie 65 located in Cannes or the exhibition that this specific poster was illustrated for.
Jean Cocteau (1889 -1963) was a French poet, designer, playwright, artist and filmmaker. Cocteau was a member of the social elite in Paris and was close with cultural icons such as Pablo Picasso, Marlene Dietrich, Coco Chanel, Igor Stravinsky, Edith Piaf, and Jean Genet. He sought to explore all arenas of the art world instead of focusing on one branch, which was considered controversial at the time. As an artist, Cocteau belonged to the Return to Order School (coined after one of his literary works), which rejected cubism and the avant-garde. Stylistically, his art combines elements of Romanticism and Surrealism in unique ways.
This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. This poster was printed on heavyweight printmaking paper. We guarantee the authenticity of all of our posters.
