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

In a studio in Nice in 1962, artists Jean Cocteau and Raymond Moretti collaborate on their monumental painting, "L'Age du Verseau." Cocteau, at left, with his shock of white hair, holds a paintbrush to the vast canvas. The younger Moretti, in a simple t-shirt, also paints while looking directly toward the camera. Behind them, the in-progress artwork features a dynamic composition of bold abstract lines, stylized human profiles, and a large circular symbol at its center. A third man is partially visible on the far left.
