Jean Cocteau – Ville de Nantes / Hommage à Jean Cocteau (1964)
Original exhibition poster, printed by Mourlot
This original stone lithograph poster was created for the 1964 exhibition Hommage à Jean Cocteau at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Nantes, held shortly after Cocteau’s death. Running from May 21 to June 15, the show honored Cocteau’s legacy with a selection of his drawings, lithographs, theatrical designs, and graphic works.
Printed by the renowned Atelier Mourlot in Paris, the poster features Cocteau’s line drawing Orpheus with Lyre, a lyrical and minimal composition emblematic of his visual style. The clean typography and spacious layout reflect the refined tone of the exhibition itself.
A true first edition, not a reproduction, this piece is a collectible artifact of mid-20th-century French cultural history—highly sought after by admirers of Cocteau, Surrealism, and postwar graphic art. Exhibition posters printed by Mourlot, particularly for memorial retrospectives of major artists, continue to grow in value and relevance.
