JEAN COCTEAU AND J. MARAIS - Lot 232
JEAN COCTEAU AND J. MARAIS Flanked by Lise Delamare and Gisèle Casadesus at the premiere of "La Machine à écrire," a play written by Cocteau and directed by Jean Meyer, 1956. Photograph, vintage silver print, stamped and annotated on the back. 24 x 18.3 cm. Signs of handling on the edges. Note: This photograph, taken in 1956, shows Jean Cocteau and Jean Marais flanked by Lise Delamare and Gisèle Casadesus at the premiere of *La Machine à écrire*, a play written by Cocteau and directed by Jean Meyer. A major figure in 20th-century French artistic life, Jean Cocteau distinguished himself with equal talent in poetry, theater, film, drawing, and literature. At his side, Jean Marais remains one of his closest collaborators and the preferred performer of several of his most famous works. The presence of Lise Delamare and Gisèle Casadesus, two leading actresses of the French stage, underscores the significance of this theatrical event in the cultural landscape of 1950s Paris. This vintage photograph thus serves as a valuable testament to postwar artistic and social life, bringing together several major figures from French theater and the arts.
