"L'homme chien" (Guy Dute and Jean-Claude Petit). During filming of "Le Testament d’Orphée", film of Jean Cocteau. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1959.
Guy Dute and Jean-Claude Petit, known as "L'homme chien," strike a playful, theatrical pose in a garden during the filming of Jean Cocteau's "Le Testament d’Orphée" in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1959. Shirtless and barefoot, one man wears a large mask resembling a donkey’s head, his arms outstretched. The other presses his head against the masked figure’s midsection, his hands on the other’s waist. Both on their tiptoes, they are captured in a moment of dynamic action or dance against a backdrop of thick hedges.
