Description

A towering figure in the worlds of literature, cinema, and visual art, Jean Cocteau was one of the most influential creative artists of the twentieth century. In this collection of brief-often aphoristic-meditations, he reflects on the nature of beauty itself.

As well as throwing new light on the author's own creative achievement, Secrets of Beauty is a vital contribution to aesthetic theory
