Are you familiar with Jean Cocteau and his artistic universe? He was an eclectic artist and a pillar of the avant-garde and modern art. Born July 5, 1889, in Maisons-Laffitte, near Paris, Jean Maurice Eugène Clément Cocteau stood out as one of the most multifaceted figures of the 20th century.
From a young age, he manifested his literary talent by publishing, at only nineteen, his first poetic collection “La Lampe d’Aladin.” This beginning propelled him into the lively cultural milieu of the Parisian Belle Époque, where he met influential figures such as Sergei Djaghilev, the visionary founder of the Ballets Russes.
