About This Item
Paris: LIBRARIE STOCK, 1924. 2nd Edition. Soft cover. Good. Inscribed by Cocteau and dated 1923 by him to influential art critic Louis Vauxcelles on the cover. Title page dated 1924. Presentable copy with a repaired spine that had suffered some loss and was laid back down with covers reattached. Some tape residue from inexpert previous tape repair upper and lower corners of covers where they meet spine. With original glassine that has browned, with spine perished. Louis Vauxcelles (1870 - 1943) is credited with coining the terms Fauvism (1905) and Cubism (1908). Jean Cocteau (1889 -1963) was a French poet, playwright, novelist, designer, film director, visual artist and critic. He was one of the foremost artists of the surrealist, avant-garde, and Dadaist movements and an influential figure in early 20th century art. This copy represents an important association between two French art figures, one the most influential critic of his generation and the other - apart from Picasso, to whom Cocteau dedicated this work - the most influential artist of the 20thC.
