Cocteau was a jack-of-all-cultural-trades and a master of at least one or two. His novel Les Enfants Terribles is outstanding, and his film Orpheus , released in 1949, is regularly acclaimed one of the best ever made. Here gallery director Saul gathers 78 images of the photogenic Cocteau, whose countenance mingled intellect and sensuality. In addition, Cocteau biographer Francis Steegmuller contributes a short introductory essay. Notes on the photographers and a Cocteau chronology round out the work. This fascinating introduction to an intriguing personality is recommended for collections of modern French literature.
