Les Lézards 1961

"Les Lézards," created in 1961 by Jean Cocteau, is a visually striking piece of art. The work features black metal lizards silhouetted against a vibrant background of orange and red tiles. This mosaic-like composition demonstrates Cocteau’s signature style, blending surrealism with classical elements. The composition is reminiscent of ancient Roman mosaics, while the abstract nature of the lizards creates a sense of whimsy and fantasy.
