Jean Cocteau, a drawing of Orphée From the film 1960 film Orpheus. Signed underneath the drawing. Supplied with coa. Image: 8.25x6 inches.

The film depicts the title character, an aging 18th century poet (played by actor/muse Jean Marais), realising he doesn't have long for this world travels through time in search of divine wisdom. In a mysterious, possibly post-apocalyptic wasteland, he has a series of enigmatic and surreal encounters with symbolic phantoms (Roger Blin, Brigitte Bardot, Marie Déa) with whom he muses about the nature of art and his own career. Ultimately, the poet strives to achieve his own rebirth as an immortal celestial being.
