Jean Cocteau (1889–1963) was a multifaceted French artist renowned for his contributions to literature, film, and visual arts. In the 1950s, he developed a profound connection with the Côte d'Azur, particularly the city of Nice, where he immersed himself in various artistic endeavors.
Among his notable works from this period is a terracotta bowl titled "Nice Côte d'Azur." This piece features Cocteau's signature linear style, depicting stylized motifs that capture the essence of the Mediterranean region. The bowl is signed "Jean Cocteau" on the front and marked "Atelier Madeline Jolly" on the back, indicating its creation in collaboration with the Madeline Jolly workshop. The bowl measures approximately 14.5 cm in diameter.
Cocteau's ceramic works from this era often incorporate themes inspired by Greek mythology and the vibrant culture of the Mediterranean. His use of terracotta as a medium reflects a desire to connect with traditional forms while infusing them with his unique artistic vision.
The "Nice Côte d'Azur" bowl exemplifies Cocteau's ability to blend classical inspiration with modernist aesthetics, resulting in a piece that is both timeless and evocative of the region he cherished.
