Jean Cocteau, making a drawing for the 6th Cannes Film Festival. Cannes 1953.
Jean Cocteau, seen in profile, is intently focused on a large canvas while making a drawing for the 6th Cannes Film Festival in 1953. Leaning forward in a rumpled painter's smock worn over a shirt and tie, he applies flame-like, calligraphic strokes with a brush. The strong lighting highlights the side of his face, his hand, and his smock, creating a stark contrast that draws attention to the act of creation within the modern gallery space.
