Jean Cocteau

France · 1889–1963

A line that connects drawing and poetry.

Jean Cocteau worked across poetry, theatre, cinema and visual art. His drawings turn a few fluid lines into figures full of presence. A print offers an intimate encounter with this imagination and a natural starting point for a personal collection.

Explore his legacy at the Maison-Musée Jean Cocteau in Milly-la-Forêt and works in the collection of MoMA, New York.
