Limited to an edition of 150, this delicate composition reflects Cocteau’s enduring fascination with the Orphic myth—a recurring theme in his poetry, films, and visual art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"369\" data-end=\"719\"\u003eRendered in soft earth tones and swirling lines, the portrait presents Orpheus in profile, his face composed of intricate arabesques and geometric motifs that suggest both motion and mystery. Cocteau’s stylized linearity, almost calligraphic in nature, evokes a dreamlike inner world, where identity and symbol merge into a single expressive gesture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"721\" data-end=\"1129\"\u003eJean Cocteau (1889–1963) was one of the most versatile figures of 20th-century French art. A poet, novelist, dramatist, filmmaker, and visual artist, he was closely linked with the avant-garde movements of his time. His graphic work, including drawings and lithographs like this one, occupies a unique space between classical mythology and surreal modernism—imbued with both elegance and psychological depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1131\" data-end=\"1487\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1131\" data-end=\"1169\"\u003ePetit profil d'Orphée aux arabesques\u003c\/em\u003e is not just a visual homage to the legendary poet of Greek myth; it’s a personal symbol of Cocteau’s artistic identity. Orpheus, the archetype of the suffering artist who descends into the underworld, was central to Cocteau’s self-conception. In this lithograph, that theme is given a lyrical and intimate expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1489\" data-end=\"1659\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eA poetic and highly collectible piece, this lithograph is ideal for admirers of Cocteau’s refined, multidisciplinary genius and for collectors of modern mythological art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal Lithograph\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStamped lower right and numbered 149\/150\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize visible as framed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good condition\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cocteau Jean","offers":[{"title":"25 x 19 \/ A+ \/ Framed","offer_id":52631953506631,"sku":null,"price":2000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/9275\/3081\/files\/AP_24022Insta2.jpg?v=1764316156","url":"https:\/\/galerie1881.fr\/en\/products\/ap_24022","provider":"Galerie 1881","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
