The artwork, titled “La Côte d’Azur,” was created by Jean Cocteau in 1958. It belongs to the Expressionism art movement and falls within the genre of design. It is part of the Plate Design series.
The artwork displays a plate with a minimalist design, featuring a profile view of a face outlined in simple lines. The face is set against a background divided into two primary color fields: a light brown hue occupies the right half, while a blue shade with geometric patterns, reminiscent of angular spirals, fills the left half. The expression of the face is subtle yet evokes a thoughtful demeanor. Jean Cocteau’s signature is clearly visible on the right side of the plate, affirming his authorship of this distinctive piece.
