Celebrating Jean Cocteau’s Visual Art Poetry in Venice Exhibition
Jean Cocteau, known for his poetic approach, showcased his multidisciplinary skills through films like “La Belle et la Bête” and “Orphée”, as well as drawings, paintings, and ceramics. The exhibition “Jean Cocteau: The Juggler’s Revenge” at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection celebrates his diverse artistic achievements, with a focus on drawings that highlight his collaboration with Picasso and his exploration of themes like addiction and queerness. While Cocteau’s controversial past is addressed, the exhibition ultimately positions him as a modern figure who embraced self-promotion. Visitors can experience the visual richness of Cocteau’s work at the exhibition until September 16th.
