Artist: JEAN COCTEAU (1889-1963) Size: 21 1/4 x 29 1/2 in./54 x 75 cm Condition: A. Printer: Reference: Ref: PAI-XXIV, 247 Key Words: Aviation; Travel; By Air, Land, or Sea; Modern Air France / Paris. "Poets don't draw," Jean Cocteau once said. "They unravel their handwriting and then tie it up again, but differently." This concept is whimsically illustrated in this Air France poster by the French artist, poet, novelist, and filmmaker. The skewed perspective and cubic abstraction are reminiscent of his colleague Picasso, while the hand-drawn lettering and transformative puffs of smoke are delightful examples of Cocteau's capriciousness.
