Descripción

A beautiful love letter from Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) to Jean Marais (1913-1998), a movie star, director (both film and theatre), painter, sculptor, writer, and photographer--and Cocteau's lover from 1937 to 1947. When the letter was sent, in April or May of 1940, Marais was mobilized in the French army. Aside from expressing his love for Marais, Cocteau also discusses his work with Colette (1873-1954), with whom he had spent the evening, on a play based on "Chéri" (in which Cocteau plans to cast Marais). 27 x 21 cm. About 200 words, written very legibly in black ink. On very good wove paper, with no signs of aging. While Cocteau made little effort to hide his homosexuality, he didn't sign the letters he sent to Marais during the war.just in case. THIS LETTER IS PUBLISHED IN FULL in "Jean Cocteau: lettres à Jean Marais." (Paris: Albin Michel, 1987, p. 132.) In excellent condition.
