• Resumen

  • The article focuses on Jean Cocteau, who was one of the most prolific figures of the early 20th-century European cultural vanguard. He left behind an enormous body of work that includes books, drawings, films, plays, choreography, and set and costume designs for ballets. As modernism's first media darling, he was photographed, drawn and painted by a roster of big talents. With the extravagant reception of his juvenile poems, adept re-phrasings Cocteau hardly seemed a likely candidate for modernist innovator.
