Jean Cocteau Artwork Details

 
 

Detailed Description

Size: 230 x 180 mms (Image size) Note: This is a scene from “Pellease et Melisande” a lyrical drama by Debussy for which Cocteau designed the scenery in 1926. It was a well known production, at the time, and Cocteau’s designs were not universally accepted by the critics who accused him of “egocentricity”. Our drawing shows nothing of this trait. Authenticity: The buyer acquires a certificate by Annie Gueras, the Cocteau expert, dated 25th August 2009, archive number 5008 D, made in Perigaux, France Provenance: The Estate of Jacques Migeon, France Price: £4500-00
