Jean Cocteau

French 1889-1963
Image for Artist Jean Cocteau
Jean Cocteau's visual art was an extension of his broader artistic endeavors and showcased his unique style and imaginative vision. He explored various mediums, including drawing, painting, ceramics, and even tapestry. His artwork often incorporated elements of mythology, sexuality, and the human form, reflecting his fascination with the interplay between reality and fantasy. Cocteau's drawings were characterized by fluid lines, bold strokes, and a sense of spontaneity. He had a distinct ability to capture the essence of his subjects with minimalistic yet evocative compositions. His drawings often depicted human figures, mythological creatures, and symbolic motifs. Cocteau's line drawings were celebrated for their simplicity and expressive power. In painting, Cocteau embraced a diverse range of styles, from abstract and cubist influences to more figurative and representational works. His paintings often featured vibrant colors, dreamlike atmospheres, and a blend of the fantastical with the everyday. Cocteau's visual art frequently explored themes of love, desire, and the human condition. Throughout his visual art, Cocteau displayed a poetic sensibility and a penchant for the surreal. His works often blurred the boundaries between reality and fantasy, inviting viewers into a world of symbolism and imagination.

The Estate of Ilon Specht

Image for Collection The Estate of Ilon Specht

Ilon Specht was a pioneering advertising copywriter and creative director who first carved a place for herself in the heady "Mad Men" era of New York advertising. While still in her twenties, she created the iconic "Because I'm Worth It" campaign for L'Oreal Paris. Specht was a subject of author Malcom Gladwell and Oscar-winning documentarian Ben Proudfoot, whose documentary short The Final Copy of Ilon Specht is streaming on Amazon Prime. Her L'Oreal Paris campaign would change beauty advertising forever, catalyzing a pivot from an emphasis on pleasing men to promoting women's self-confidence and empowerment. Ilon also did groundbreaking work for the Peace Corps, Oxy 5, Underalls, and Life cereal. She was an avid collector, especially of Deco and American country, with an eye that transcended eras and fads. Unlikely collections adorned all corners of her dazzling apartment in the Dakota. After retiring from advertising, she moved to California and devoted herself full-time to making and dealing in beautiful things. As a mother, a stepmother, a friend, and a boss, Ilon Specht was caring, generous, courageous and brilliant. She changed many lives.
