Accompanying an exhibition celebrating the centenary of Cocteau's birth, introduction by Julie Saul, essay by Francis Steegmuller.
In 'Jean Cocteau: The Mirror and the Mask', Julie Saul provides a detailed exploration of one of the most versatile figures of 20th-century French culture. The work examines Cocteau's diverse contributions to literature, cinema, painting, sculpture, and theater. By analyzing his aesthetic philosophy—often characterized by the interplay between public persona and private identity—Saul situates Cocteau within the broader context of modernism and the avant-garde. The book serves as a scholarly biography and critical analysis of his stylistic evolution and his enduring influence on contemporary art.
