‎La danse de Sophocle • The Dance of Sophocles His Mother's Copy‎

‎Paris: Mercure de France 1912. Fine. Mercure de France Paris 1912 15 x 19 cm relié First edition one of 7 numbered copies on Hollande paper the only large paper copies this one no. 1 specially printed for Jean Cocteau's mother. Contemporary vellum Bradel binding by Dupré gilt date to foot of spine brown shagreen title label marbled endpapers and pastedowns covers and spine preserved. Light worming principally affecting the margins of some leaves. A moving and exceptional autograph inscription signed and dated by Jean Cocteau to his mother in Latin quoting a verse of Virgils Bucolics: “Incipe parve puer : cui non risere parentes nec deus hunc mensa dea nec dignita cubili est. / Virgile. / Jean” which in English is: “Realise this child: the boy at whom his parents never smiled is fit neither to approach the table of the Gods nor the couch of a Goddess.” A unique copy. With the publication of this third collection of poetry Cocteau a young prodigy then aged 23 was feted by artistic and literary circles. An intimate of Proust's a friend of Jacques-Emile Blanche a follower of Nijinski and Diaghilev and a disciple of Anna de Noailles his ambition was to unite in his own person all the talents that surrounded him. The Danse de Sophocle Dance of Sophocles a reference to the nude dance that “the young and divine Sophocles” did in Athens after the naval victory at Salamis reflects the ambition and the exaltation of the young Cocteau: novelist painter dancer poet he felt truly “fit to approach the table of the Gods.” “As with all the best artists he was a link between God and Earth.” In his biography Claude Arnaud dedicates a chapter “The Living God” to the psychology of the poet in this period: “He was a piece torn from God one of the terrestrial organs through which this Being constantly evolving thought about and finally acted to improve his creation.” Thus Cocteau broke free of his illustrious models and assumed his full artistic divinity which unfolded in this ecstatic collection witnessed by the eponymous poem: Thanks to you dear pride I wore the halo Given by the charming god of words… Thanks to you I knew the frenetic struggles in which pen and paper the dreary pot of ink Are the ties of verses you want to shout You want to scream sing sigh laugh… And which we must – since they are in us and we feel them – Let flow like beautiful blood. The inscription to his mother on the first of seven rare large paper copies is a witness to Cocteau's only real great influence: Eugénie Cocteau. A mother idolized by her son she was a profound influence on both the poet's life and his work marked by the omnipresence of the Oedipal figure. Claude Arnaud describes at length this “filial outpouring coupled with an almost amorous attention.: ‘only my love for you is rooted in something real the rest seems to be a bad dream'.” One can hardly miss in this quotation from Virgil the incestuous ambiguity that bound Cocteau to his mother. One of the most desirable provenances for this extremely rare copy. Mercure de France hardcover‎

‎La Voix humaine - Exemplaire enrichi d'un dessin original • The Human Voice - Copy Enhanced with an Original Drawing‎

‎Paris: Gallimard 1930. Fine. Gallimard Paris 1930 12 x 18.50 cm relié First edition one of 110 numbered copies on Rives laid paper. Half red morocco binding smooth spine gilt date at foot boards covered with abstract patterned paper red paper endpapers and pastedowns covers and spine preserved top edge gilt signed binding by P. Goy & C. Vilaine. Autograph inscription signed by Jean Cocteau to a friend named Roger enhanced with a drawing in blue ink representing the face of a young man facing forward. During the first performance in 1930 L'Echo de Paris already prophesied: ""The best actresses in the world will want to interpret La voix humaine."" Indeed on stage and screen followed Berthe Bovy Anna Magnani Simone Signoret Ingrid Bergman Sophia Loren Ornella Muti Tilda Swinton. and the opera singers Denise Duval and Felicity Lott while the greatest directors and composers took up the staging challenges of this atypical work. Among them Roberto Rossellini Francis Poulenc or Pedro Almodovar who owes his finest film to Cocteau's play: Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios. A monologue this variation on waiting desire and the pain of a woman suffering a telephone breakup confronts the actress with the deafening silence of the telephone receiver. The tragedy being played offers the spectator only a victim suffering the inaudible attacks of an invisible torturer. The human voice is both that broken down of this woman alternately strong fragile proud and destroyed and that other one absent but which strikes the spectator's imagination through what Cocteau calls: ""the eternity of silences"" Gallimard hardcover‎
