Jean Marais (1913-1998) "Portrait of Jean Cocteau", lithograph. Jean Marais will say "In 1937, he met Jean Cocteau during an audition for the staging of his rewriting of Oedipus King. This meeting marked the real launch of his career. He would say, "I lived twenty-four years before I was born. I was born twice, on December 11, 1913 and on the day in 1937 when I met Jean Cocteau" Jean Marais (1913-1998) "Complete artist before devoting his life to art of painting, pottery and sculpture in Vallauris will be an adored actor in France, a stuntman in cape and dagger films where he will also play the greatest romantic roles, so much was his beauty dazzling and conducive to image. He will be an actor, director, writer, caught up by the French tax authorities and his generosity, the sales of his works of art will save him from bankruptcy. In 1937, he met Jean Cocteau during an audition for the staging of his rewriting of Œdipe Roi. This meeting marked the real launch of his career. He will say, “I lived twenty-four years before I was born. I was born twice, December 11, 1913 and that day in 1937 when I met Jean Cocteau » Jean Marais is very beautiful. Cocteau becomes her lover, her friend and her pygmalion. They will remain friends until the death of Cocteau, in 1993 Jean Marais writes his posthumous tribute "The Inconceivable Jean Cocteau". In 1973, after a very brilliant career, he moved to Vallauris, in his house with a wrought iron gate designed by Cocteau. he opened three pottery, painting and drawing workshops. He met there on June 6, 1973, the Pasquali who inducted him into the world of art. In 1975, he opened his first gallery in Vallauris, in 1976, in his second gallery in Paris, he sold his pottery, his posters, his lithographs and his paintings, at 91 rue Saint-Honoré. Then a third gallery opened in 1981 in Megève on the village square and a fourth in Biarritz. The Galerie La Cimaise in Montreal, Canada consolidates its international success. His last exhibition will take place at the Art World Gallery in Cannes, the city where he died in 1998. The galleries and the sale of his art helped him to absorb his tax debt equivalent to 18 million euros. The Pasquali, his heirs, without children, organize during their lifetime the sale of his art and they distribute the money to good works. On his death the Town Hall of Vallauris decrees four days of mourning and a crowd gathers around his grave. Nice-Matin title: “Vallauris has lost its sun”. Excerpt from the book, "Post-War Art of the School of Paris", by Lise Cormery, Michelangelo, Paris, 2021.
