Jean COCTEAU [PHOTOGRAPHIE] Portrait photographique de Jean Cocteau dédicacé par le poète à Willy Michel

Jean COCTEAU

[PHOTOGRAPHIE] Portrait photographique de Jean Cocteau dédicacé par le poète à Willy Michel

S.n. 1943, 29x22,8 cm, une photographie.


Large photographic portrait of Jean Cocteau inscribed by Cocteau to Willy Michel
1943 | 29 x 22.8 cm | one photograph
 

Extremely rare photographic portrait of Jean Cocteau, in contemporary silver print, produced during the shooting of Serge de Pologny's film Le Baron fantôme for which he wrote the dialogues.
Beautiful, signed autograph inscription, in the upper margin of the photo, to which Cocteau has added his famous little star: “à mon cher willy Michel. Souvenir très amical de nos complicités cinématographiques. Le Baron fantôme, Jean Cocteau. 1943” “To my dear Willy Michel. Very fond memory of our film-making complicity. Le Baron fantôme, Jean Cocteau. 1943”
Some tiny lacks in the left margin of the photograph.
Magnificent large photographic portrait offered to the photographer Willy Michel, who installed the first photo booth in France in his studio and became famous for his “selfies” with all the artists, actors and writers of his time.
With this superb, highly expressive, photograph in costume, Cocteau offers this bibliophile, patron of artists and accustomed to cinema sets, an item of choice for his famous collection of portraits and artists' signatures.
 
A wonderful highly expressive portrait of which we have not found any other copy in international public collections.
