Product description
Defined by the lyrical and surrealist line-work of 1960s French modernism, this composition utilizes rhythmic pastel zig-zags to frame classical profiles and aquatic motifs. This print captures the poetic linework that defined Cocteau’s late career, blending mythological imagery with a playful, sketch-like energy.
About Jean Cocteau
Jean Cocteau (1889–1963) was a French poet, filmmaker, playwright and artist. Cocteau’s drawings use a single, flowing line to sketch faces, profiles and mythological figures. Movements such as Fauvism, Cubism and Expressionism all grew out of early 20th-century modernism. Modernist artists rejected strict realism in favour of new ways of seeing colour, form and space.
Styling this Jean Cocteau print
This Jean Cocteau print pairs a surreal atmosphere with a gold and pastel palette that is easy to build a room around. Choose 24×36″ to make “Saint Peter’s Chapel” the focal point of a living room, or 11×14″ to 16×20″ for a bedside or hallway wall. The gold and pastel palette of “Saint Peter’s Chapel” glows beside warm wood, brass and deep green or navy walls; finish it with a slim walnut or black frame.
