JEAN COCTEAU - Lot 77
JEAN COCTEAU In Arles, 1960. Photo by Edward Quinn, vintage silver print, stamped (including by the photographer) and annotated on the back. 24 x 18 cm. A tear at one corner tip. Note: This photograph, taken by Edward Quinn in Arles in 1960, brings together two major figures of 20th-century culture. An internationally renowned photographer, Quinn immortalized numerous artists, writers, and celebrities of his time, creating an exceptional record of postwar cultural life. Jean Cocteau, then at the height of his fame, was one of the most influential figures in the French art scene, active in poetry, drawing, theater, and cinema alike. This portrait, taken in Arles—a city deeply rooted in the history of the arts and the Mediterranean—offers a rare glimpse of the writer and artist in a more intimate setting, during a particularly prolific period of his career.
