Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine unread condition red cloth boards with gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated and black-and-white photographic dust jacket. Includes Preface by Arthur King Peters; A Jean Cocteau Chronology; Acknowledgments; Contributors; Index and Photographic Credits. Illustrated with nearly one hundred period black-and-white photographs, paintings, and drawings, including many previously unpublished works. "There are as many Cocteaus as there are biographers of him," writes composer Ned Rorem in this strikingly illustrated book. Nineteen eight-three, the year of the twentieth anniversary of the death of this supremely versatile artist, brought an outpouring of commemorative exhibitions, publications, performances, homages, and reassessments of this "mirror and victim of his time." His creative life began in Proustian Paris and the dying embers of the fin de siecle; came to precocious maturity in the midst of the vanguard achievements and conflicts of Cubism, Dada, and Surrealism; and actively continued throughout the next three decades. His associations and collaborations with everyone from Diaghilev and Stravinsky to Picasso, Satie, and Les Six remain as abidingly interesting as do his films and the proteges he discovered, Radiguet and Marais. Cocteau remained an enfant terrible of the arts througout his long life. He put in fifty years of hard labor in what film critic Stephen Harvey describes as "eight or nine of the seven lively arts." Poet, portraitist, painter, novelist, playwright, impresario, muralist, designer, and filmmaker, Cocteau was the greatest multimedia artist of his times. His collaborative spirit made him a catalyst for all the arts, just as his energy and wit for all the arts, just as his energy and wit made him a bridge between haut-monde Paris and the avant-garde of Montparnasse and Montmartre. His lust for attention and his talent for self promtion led observers to call him "the most photographed man" in Paris - a fact admirably documented by this book. In Jean Cocteau and the French Scene, eight prominent French and American authors adress Cocteau's incessant artistic activities. These trenchant essays relate the poet's kaleidoscopic talents to the larger canvas of the artistic, literary, theatrical, musical, cinematic, and intellectual worlds in which he flourished. Francis Steegmuller, who received a Pulitzer prize for an earlier biography of Cocteau, investigates the circumstances, events, and interconnections of Cocteau's life. Roger Shattuck describes Cocteau's many shapes," and considers his often uneasy relationship to the Parisian avante-garde. Art historian Dore Ashton provides an intellectual backdrop to the artist's own shifting ideas and sources in a discussion of the major currents of thought that emerged during half a century and two world wars. Breaking new ground, Kenneth Silver examines the influence of the image d'Epinal on several of Cocteau's theatrical collaborations, pointing out the ways in which the French popular prints were transmuted for costumes and characters in Parade and other productions. Other articles include Pierre Chanel's critique of Cocteau's drawings and illustrations, Neal Oxenhandler on the three perioes of Cocteau's work for the theater, and Ned Rorem on Cocteau's musical ideas and his relationship with Les Six. Stephen Harvey, one of our most perceptive young critics, examines Cocteau's development as a filmmaker and considers the seamless artifice and erotic symbolism that made his films precursors of modern cinema. This collection is embellished with reproductions of nearly one hundred period photographs, paintings, and drawings, including many previously unpublished works." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

couverture souple. Editions Francis Salabert | Paris 1923 | 27 x 34.90 cm | une feuille rempliée | Edition originale de cette partition chant et piano illustrée sur le premier plat d'un dessin en couleurs de Roger de Valerio. Bien que réalisée par un artiste français, dans une veine expressionniste, la couverture reprend l'imagerie stéréotypée des Afro-américains, véhiculée, depuis la guerre de Sécession, par la caricature raciste américaine. Pourtant, en 1923, cette violente stigmatisation avilissante et essentialisante fondée sur l'idéologie d'une hiérarchie ethnique, est facétieusement détournée par les noirs américains notamment à travers la culture du Jazz and Blues et par quelques grandes figures artistiques dont Joséphine Baker. Ainsi, dans sa Revue Nègre se réapproprie-t-elle avec humour et sensualité la représentation dégradante dont les noirs sont victimes. Il est alors parfois difficile dans les représentations de la négritude de ces années folles de distinguer la frontière entre la caricature raciste et sa réinterprétation moderne moquant le mythe racial. Toutefois, ce nouveau fox trot de Franck Silver et Irving Cohn qui fait alors un tabac aux Etats-Unis et que le magazine Billboard placera en 1948 dans sa liste Fifty Years of Song Hits, n'a aucun rapport avec la négritude. Il est inspiré d'une réplique d'un épicier grec suite à la pénurie due à la rouille de la banane. Totalement inadéquate, l'image de Valerio est inspirée par la simple évocation de la banane associée à l'Afrique pour le public français et ainsi à la « sauvagerie » fantasmée du noir africain. Cette réinterprétation colonialiste du cliché racial se distingue de l'imagerie américaine, notamment par le dénuement des personnages, les boucles d'oreilles des enfants et leur chevelure éparse. On retrouvera cette même iconographie dans les bande-dessinée franco-belge, dont Tintin au Congo quelques années plus tard. Très bel exemplaire de cette partition originale française d'un des grands succès du Fox-Trot, d'une grande qualité graphique en dépit de son thème raciste. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] First edition of this vocal and piano score illustrated on the first cover with a color drawing by Roger de Valerio. Although created by a French artist in an expressionist vein, the cover reproduces the stereotypical imagery of African Americans that had been conveyed since the Civil War through American racist caricature. Yet in 1923, this violent, degrading and essentializing stigmatization based on the ideology of ethnic hierarchy was facetiously subverted by Black Americans, notably through Jazz and Blues culture and by several major artistic figures including Josephine Baker. Thus, in her Revue Nègre, she humorously and sensually reappropriated the degrading representation of which Black people were victims. It was then sometimes difficult in the representations of blackness during these roaring twenties to distinguish the boundary between racist caricature and its modern reinterpretation mocking racial myth. However, this new fox trot by Frank Silver and Irving Cohn, which was then a huge hit in the United States and which Billboard magazine would place in 1948 on its list of Fifty Years of Song Hits, had no connection to blackness. It was inspired by a remark from a Greek grocer following the shortage due to banana blight. Completely inadequate, Valerio's image was inspired by the simple evocation of the banana associated with Africa for the French public and thus with the fantasized "savagery" of the Black African. This colonialist reinterpretation of the racial cliché differs from American imagery, notably through the nakedness of the characters, the children's earrings and their disheveled hair. This same iconography would be found in Franco-Belgian comics, including Tintin in the Congo a few years later. A very handsome copy of this original French score of one of the great Fox-Trot successes, of great graphic quality despite its racist theme. *. …
