Jean Cocteau, né le 5 juillet 1889 et mort le 11 octobre 1963 est un poète, graphiste, dessinateur, dramaturge et cinéaste français.
“On doit croire en sa chance, sinon comment expliquer le succès de ceux qu’on n’aime pas.” (Le Coq et l’Arlequin – 1918)
“Dobbiamo credere nella fortuna. Come spiegare altrimenti il successo di chi non ci piace?”
“We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don’t like?”

I like Jean Cocteau and this quote. Ma mère disait à l’occasion cette phrase même si elle croyait avant tout que l’on récolte ce que l’on sème.

She was right: we collect what we sow But sometimes the success of people of little value is inexplicable

Cocteau was quite a “personnage”. He unfortunately died the same day as Edith Piaf, who, printing schedules “obligent”, was on first page of all press and magazines. Cocteau had a great sense of humour.

Now, was your illustration a Modigliani portrait of Cocteau? I’d never seen it.
