Exhibition: Rest with you
On the occasion of the sixtieth anniversary of the death of Jean Cocteau, the museum that he himself conceived as a testimony of his art is returning to its historical layout.
Jean Cocteau died on October 11, 1963, leaving behind a work as rich as it is incredibly varied. The issue of his posterity and the future of his art was one of the main concerns of the artist in his last years of life, and Menton provided the solution by offering him the Bastion to set up his museum.
In this showcase, decorated by Cocteau himself, he wanted to exhibit some of the most emblematic works of his dazzling career: colorful pastels, monumental tapestries, surprising paintings, and daring ceramics make up the original collection of this true testament museum… Not to mention the famous series of “Lovers,” drawings that perfectly embody the Mediterranean inspiration of the artist.
Sixty years after the death of the Prince of Poets, the Musée Jean Cocteau-le Bastion has returned to exhibit his historical work, paying a vibrant tribute to his guardian artist, adopting the words he wanted to be engraved on his tombstone: “Je reste avec vous” (“I remain with you”).
At: Musée Jean Cocteau—le Bastion Quai Napoléon III
