The artwork titled “Mythologie blonde,” created by Jean Cocteau in 1958, belongs to the Expressionism movement and is categorized under the genre of design and utensil. This piece is part of Cocteau’s Plate Design series. The artwork is a plate featuring minimalistic line drawings of three abstract, humanoid figures. These figures are rendered in a whimsical, stylized manner, characterized by simple lines and shapes. The background of the plate is a muted light orange-pink, adorned with splashes of light blue and purple, suggesting movement and energy. Above the figures is a central spiral surrounded by radiating lines, imbued with a sun-like quality, adding a mystical and mythological context to the piece. Cocteau’s signature and the year, ’58, are clearly inscribed on the lower right side of the plate, signifying the authenticity of the work.
