About Interieur chapelle Saint Blaise

The artwork titled “Interieur chapelle Saint Blaise,” created by Jean Cocteau in 1959, is a remarkable expressionist piece that falls within the animal painting genre. This artwork is part of the series “Interieur chapelle Saint Blaise 1959.” The piece depicts an interior scene within the chapel of Saint Blaise, characterized by vivid colors and stylized line work.

In the artwork, a cat is prominently featured, rendered in a simplistic yet expressive style true to Cocteau’s unique approach. The cat’s form is outlined in dark lines against a pastel background, suggesting a playful yet contemplative mood. The cat gazes upward, perhaps towards the bright, yellow flower adjacent to it, which adds a touch of natural beauty to the composition. The background comprises soft hues of blue and beige, creating a serene backdrop that contrasts with the vibrant green and yellow of the flower and the inquisitive expression of the cat. The signature “Jean Cocteau 1959” is visible, affirming the authenticity of this expressive masterpiece.
