Meet Picasso
About This Novel
For Cocteau, Picasso "had a charm... (He) had a miraculous company, stirring up trivial things... Furniture, animals and people intertwined like the body of a lover". Cocteau took Picasso into the theater world, rekindled his interest in modeling, and was at the forefront of the movement and return of "restoration of order" and restoration of traditional values - a decisive fact of the 1920s, which Cocteau regarded as the honor of his life. "Meeting Picasso" shows Cocteau's artistic compatibility with his contemporary creators, Picasso's decisive influence on him, and his connection with masters such as Satie and Apollinaire - Cocteau was their fellow traveler and sometimes their discoverer. That's what this book is about.
