Spending the day with the one and only Jean Cocteau? Casual. First time seeing so many of his works in one go, too - no big deal.
I remember years ago, watching The Orphic Trilogy and thinking, ‘Wow, this is dangerously beautiful.’ Then came his writings, and eventually his drawings. Now, seeing his pencil strokes up close at Peggy Guggenheim’s Venice pad? It’s like catching up with an old friend - intense, intimate, maybe even a little dramatic.
My eyes? Officially spoiled.
Bisou bisou, Jo 🖤
