Jean Cocteau and Raymond Moretti. Collective painting "L'Age du Verseau". Nice 1962.

In Nice in 1962, Jean Cocteau and Raymond Moretti collaborate on their monumental painting, "L'Age du Verseau". One of the artists peeks from behind the large, two-panel artwork, looking down at the abstract and surrealist composition. Divided by bold white diagonal lines, the piece is populated with stylized figures, fish, and disembodied eyes against a geometric gray background. Central sun-like and circular faces, both split into light and dark halves, suggest a theme of duality.
