Download or read book Secrets of Beauty written by Jean Cocteau and published by ERIS. This book was released on 2024-01-09 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Discomfort is the hallmark of the poet. His world is almost uninhabitable. People sense this. They enter it as little as possible, as quickly as possible, and only out of curiosity.” Widely celebrated for his work in the fields of literature, cinema, and the visual arts, Jean Cocteau was one of the twentieth century’s outstanding creative practitioners. In this collection of brief—often aphoristic—meditations, Jean Cocteau reflects on the fundamental solitariness of the artistic vocation. As well as offering fascinating insights into Cocteau’s own achievements, Secrets of Beauty is a moving testament to the artist’s need and obligation to pursue an independent path, and to the disjunction between art and “the inflexible everyday world”. Juliet Powys’s translation skilfully captures the wit and subtlety of the original French text—a vital contribution to aesthetic theory that deserves to be read as a significant work of literature in its own right.

Download or read book Jean Cocteau written by Claude Arnaud and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 1039 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This passionate and monumental biography reassesses the life and legacy of one of the most significant cultural figures of the twentieth century Unevenly respected, easily hated, almost always suspected of being inferior to his reputation, Jean Cocteau has often been thought of as a jack-of-all-trades, master of none. In this landmark biography, Claude Arnaud thoroughly contests this characterization, as he celebrates Cocteau’s “fragile genius—a combination almost unlivable in art” but in his case so fertile. Arnaud narrates the life of this legendary French novelist, poet, playwright, director, filmmaker, and designer who, as a young man, pretended to be a sort of a god, but who died as a humble and exhausted craftsman. His moving and compassionate account examines the nature of Cocteau’s chameleon-like genius, his romantic attachments, his controversial politics, and his intimate involvement with many of the century’s leading artistic lights, including Picasso, Proust, Hemingway, Stravinsky, and Tennessee Williams. Already published to great critical acclaim in France, Arnaud’s penetrating and deeply researched work reveals a uniquely gifted artist while offering a magnificent cultural history of the twentieth century.
Book Synopsis Letter to the Americans by : Jean Cocteau
Download or read book Letter to the Americans written by Jean Cocteau and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2022-06-07 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like Alexis de Tocqueville a century earlier, Jean Cocteau offers a powerful reminder to Americans of their own potential—and issues 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.

Book excerpt: Poet, novelist, dramatist, essayist, artist, illustrator and film producer, Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) possessed the enviable ability to apply his talent and vision to many different artistic fields. Rising to fame with his friend Diaghilev after the First World War, Cocteau lived his whole life as a member of the avant-garde. He created a strange and mythical world, in films such as Orphée, La Belle et la Bête and Le Testament d’Orphée, in his designs for Diaghilev’s ballets, and in his delicate drawings. In text and lavish illustrations including photographs of Cocteau himself, his drawings, wall paintings and programme designs, 'Jean Cocteau' is a tribute to the effervescent spirit and creative genius of one of the most innovative, original and versatile personalities of the 20th century.
