Peggy Guggenheim Collection
From April 13 to September 16, 2024
A versatile artist with a dandy temperament, Jean Cocteau has established himself as a designer, painter, poet, playwright, but also French filmmaker. This jack-of-all-trades genius is honored within the Peggy Guggenheim Collection through a retrospective exhibition highlighting the multidisciplinary aspect of the artist, who is a complete artist. Drawings, jewelry, tapestries, books, magazines, photographs, films, but also documentaries... Through no less than 150 works, this exhibition traces the development of his work as well as the key moments of his career.
