Original lithographic poster with art by Jean Cocteau before lettering from exhibition at Galerie Pont des Arts chez Lucie Weill in Paris 1958. Beautifully printed by Mourlot on Canson paper (made with 100% cotton fibres).

Jean Cocteau was a French poet, writer, painter and film director. Though he always claimed that he was first and foremost a poet. Cocteau was associated with the Surrealist movement and had close relationships with other avant-garde artists, including Pablo Picasso. Cocteau's versatility allowed him to cross boundaries between different forms of art. He was not only a writer and filmmaker but also a talented visual artist, creating drawings, paintings, and set designs that complemented his literary and cinematic works.

The piece is framed with an antique hand gilded frame, warm brown passepartout, and a light background.
