Rediscovering Cocteau's artistic output, from perfume boxes to sketches of Peggy GuggenheimThe multifaceted and surprising artist Jean Cocteau was undoubtedly one of the major figures of the Paris cultural scene in the years between the World Wars. In addition to his literary works, Cocteau was a brilliant visual artist: draftsman, filmmaker and muralist and fashion, jewelry and textile designer. The Juggler's Revenge embraces the versatility for which the artist was often criticized by his contemporaries, retracing the development of his aesthetics and the key moments of his tumultuous life through works created by a variety of techniques and mediums.Attention is paid to his ambivalent relationship with Cubism, Dadaism and Surrealism, as well as his central role in the "new classicism" of Europe between the wars. A selection of surprising drawings highlights the centrality of desire and sensuality in Cocteau's practice. His little-studied fashion and jewelry designs show the artist's incorporation of "high" and "low" culture. This volume corresponds with an exhibition at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, an appropriate setting through which to explore his work. Cocteau had close ties with Guggenheim, who in 1938 opened her first gallery with an exhibition of his drawings. He also had a great love for the city itself, traveling there for the first time at the age of 15 and returning regularly for the Film Festival in the years following World War II.Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) was an author, artist, film director and a key member of French avant-garde culture. Cocteau preferred to be called a poet and referred to his various works as different forms of poetry. He collaborated with dozens of artists throughout his career, including Erik Satie, Guillaume Apollinaire and Pablo Picasso.

A towering figure in the worlds of literature, cinema, and visual art, Jean Cocteau was one of the most influential creative artists of the twentieth century. In this collection of brief--often aphoristic--meditations, he reflects on the nature of beauty itself. Ranging over painters, poets, and musicians, Cocteau offers brilliant insights into the essential loneliness of the artistic vocation. As well as throwing new light on the author's own creative achievement, Secrets of Beauty is a vital contribution to aesthetic theory

Original illustrations by Jean Cocteau and Andrzej KlimowskiTwo of the seven monologues by Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) in this edition were written for Édith Piaf. The other five were written for Cocteau's friend, the celebrated actor Jean Marais, to perform on radio. Although perhaps a minor part of Cocteau's output of films, plays, poems and ballet scenarios, these exquisite miniatures remain a fascinating form of his dramatic expression.Georges Feydeau (1862-1921) is best known for his enduring farces, such as A Flea In Her Ear, yet he wrote over 20 monologues for actors to perform at charity concerts and in fashionable drawing rooms. The six included in this volume were written over a period of 16 years from 1882.Peter Meyer's translations of eleven of these monologues were commissioned by the BBC and performed on radio by leading actors including Eileen Atkins, Jill Bennett, Richard Briers, Judi Dench, Alec McCowan and Timothy West. The Liar and I Lost Her have been newly translated for this volume.

Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) was a poet, a novelist, a playwright, an artist, an impresario, dandy and socialite. Friend to many of the most daringly original and socially dazzling fgures to be found in Paris at the height of its fame in the early part of this century as the teeming centre of the modernist world, Cocteau collaborated with such luminaries as Picasso, Stravinsky, Satie and Diaghilev. Jean Cocteau was only a small child when the Lumiere brothers first demonstrated their remarkable new invention, moving pidures, and his own artistic development coincided with that of the twentieth century's most important new medium. When given the chance to make his first film (The Blood of the Poet) in 1931, Cocteau embraced the new medium with the originality and verve that were his hallmark. Over the next thirty years, up to the time of his last film (The Testament of Orpheus) in 1960, Cocteau made eight films, wrote essays on the cinema and film criticism which bore witness to his passionate affair with the moving image. This collection of his writings on film illuminates Cocteau's own work for the cinema, with detailed discussions of his aims, responses to criticism and his reflections on the relationship between cinema and theatre. Among several occasional pieces, Cocteau comments on the movie stars he admires - Marlene Dietrich, Brigitte Bardot, James Dean and Robert Montgomery - as well as the achievements of such great directors as Chaplin and Orson Welles. The final section in this volume contains what is perhaps the most remarkable and unique material, offering insights into the mind of a visual poet through the previously unpublished synopses of unrealized film projects. Cocteau'stwo screenplays The Blood of a Poet and The Testament of Orpheus are published together by Marion Boyars under the title Two Screenplays.

In 1949, Jean Cocteau spent twenty days in New York, and began composing on the plane ride home this essay filled with the vivid impressions of his trip. With his unmistakable prose and graceful wit, he compares and contrasts French and American culture: the different values they place on art, literature, liberty, psychology, and dreams. Cocteau sees the incredibly buoyant hopes in America's promise, while at the same time warning of the many ills that the nation will have to confront-its hypocrisy, sexism, racism, and hegemonic aspirations-in order to realize this potential. Never before translated into English, Letter to the Americans remains as timely and urgent as when it was first published in France over seventy years ago.

Under foregivende er en roman om at lyve og bedrage i den bedste mening og om det komplicerede forhold mellem virkelighed og blændværk, identitet og skæbne. Under første verdenskrig bliver den purunge Guillaume Thomas taget for en højtstående generals nevø, og han ser ingen grund til at rette misforståelsen, som bringer ham frem i geledderne til selve krigens hjerte. Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) udgav romanen i 1923 under titlen Thomas l'imposteur.

Jean Cocteau's iconic play explores our desperate need for human relationships - and the machine that has changed them forever. A brand new version of this classic text is translated by Daniel Raggett and staged at the Gate Theatre 34 years since it was first produced there.

The meaning of poetry and the sociological and political significance of art are dealt with in these letters. Jacques Maritain (18 November 1882–28 April 1973) was a French Catholic philosopher. Raised as a Protestant, he converted to Catholicism in 1906. An author of more than 60 books, he is responsible for reviving St. Thomas Aquinas for modern times and is a prominent drafter of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Pope Paul VI presented his "Message to Men of Thought and of Science" at the close of Vatican II to Maritain, his long-time friend and mentor. Jean Maurice Eugène Clément Cocteau (5 July 1889 – 11 October 1963) was a French poet, novelist, dramatist, designer, boxing manager, playwright, artist and filmmaker. Along with other Surrealists of his generation (Jean Anouilh and René Char for example) Cocteau grappled with the "algebra" of verbal codes old and new, mise en scène language and technologies of modernism to create a paradox: a classical avant-garde. His circle of associates, friends and lovers included Pablo Picasso, Jean Marais, Henri Bernstein, Édith Piaf, whom he cast in one of his one act plays entitled Le Bel Indifferent in 1940, and Raymond Radiguet.
