COCTEAU Jean (1889 - 1963)
MANUSCRIT autograph signed "Jean Cocteau", [1952]| 1 page in-4.
Beautiful text for the magazine Arts at the time of the revival of the oratorio OEdipus
Rex by Strawinsky.
"STRAWINSKY and PICASSO have been for me great examples and they remain so. They teach us to break with fantasy, to build only on the mysterious figures that form the basis of religions and true work. Strawinsky's oratorio OEdipus-Rex dates from 1923. We did it together near Nice. In 1952 we met again [...]. I will not allow myself to disturb the music with a show. Seven living pictures underline my texts and disappear when Strawinsky conducts"| they are satisfied to underline by allusions some episodes of the Greek drama: "The plague in Thebes, Sadness of Athena, Complex of Oedipus, The
Sphinx, etc... Only, I repeat, the first place remains with the oratorio and the ear".
