Intussen, in het leven van Jean Cocteau
Het hele leven1926
The exhibition “Poésie plastique — objets, dessins”
“Orphée” was quickly followed by an exhibition of his drawings and “constructions” called “Poésie plastique — objets, dessins.”
1927–1935
Illustrations for his own books
From the 1920s he illustrated his own writings, building figurative form from minimal strokes: an illustrated edition of “Thomas l’imposteur” appeared in 1927, “Opium” and “Le Livre blanc” in 1930, and in 1935 a portfolio of 60 illustrations for “Les Enfants terribles.”
1928
Publishes “Le Livre blanc” anonymously
He published “Le Livre blanc,” a mildly homoerotic, semi-autobiographical novel, anonymously; he never repudiated its authorship, and a later edition features his foreword and drawings.
