The artwork “Fleur des Yeux” by Jean Cocteau belongs to the Expressionism art movement and falls under the genre of design. It is part of a series titled “Plate Design”.
The artwork depicts a minimalist and surreal composition on a plate, characterized by a central vertical structure that resembles a plant-like form. At the top of this structure, three stylized eyes are arranged in a triangular formation, each eye enclosed within a geometrically shaped frame and embellished with delicate, spiky eyelashes. The eyes, rendered in blue and white, are connected by green lines that depict stems, giving the impression of an otherworldly flower. Below the eyes, minimalistic forms suggesting facial features are subtly incorporated, blending organic and abstract elements. The overall design is executed with a restricted color palette primarily consisting of earthy tones, greens, and accents of red and black. The artist’s signature, “Jean Cocteau 58”, is inscribed at the lower right corner, lending a personal touch to the creation. The artwork exudes a sense of whimsicality and introspection, typical of Cocteau’s imaginative and expressive style.
