About the Item
Jean Cocteau's drawing, "Le Couple et la Lyre," is a poetic masterpiece that weaves together love and music. This artwork, with its minimalist lines, beautifully captures two figures entwined in an embrace, forming the shape of a lyre—a profound symbol of the intertwining of love and art.
What makes this drawing remarkable is its ability to convey a sense of unity and longing with simplicity. Cocteau's artistic approach invites viewers to infuse their own emotions into the piece, making it a deeply personal and relatable work of art.
This drawing is a window into an era when Cocteau was a leading figure in French avant-garde art and literature. His exploration of themes like love and the human condition resonated deeply with his contemporaries.
