Jean Cocteau: All For Music: followed by Jean Cocteau impresario [French]

By Christian Soleil

Jean Cocteau, All for Music delves into the rich and often overlooked relationship between Jean Cocteau and the world of music. Known primarily as a poet, playwright, filmmaker, and visual artist, Cocteau was also a passionate advocate for musical innovation in the 20th century.

This book traces his collaborations with key composers of the era-Erik Satie, Igor Stravinsky, Francis Poulenc, Darius Milhaud-and his central role in the emergence of the avant-garde musical collective known as "Les Six." Through his writings, theatrical works, and film projects, Cocteau constantly sought to blend music with poetry and visual expression, envisioning a total art form.

Jean Cocteau, All for Music is both a critical exploration and a celebration of an artist who lived and created with a deep sense of rhythm, harmony, and disruption-a man for whom music was not a background, but a central force of life and creation.
