Portraits souvenirs PDF - Jean Cocteau

He was a French poet, playwright, novelist, designer, director, visual artist and critic. He was one of the most prominent designers of the surrealist, pioneering and Dadaist movements. And one of the most influential figures in the art of the early twentieth century as a whole. The National Observatory suggested that "from the artistic generation whose boldness gave birth to twentieth-century art, Cocteau came close to being a Renaissance man."
