Cocteau & Spain

Poet, playwright and cineaste Jean Cocteau spent long periods living on the Costa del Sol in the 1950s and 1960s. His long relationship with Spain is captured in this exhibition. Picasso, bullfighting and flamenco were all facets of Spain that fascinated Cocteau and served as a source of inspiration for his own work. During his spells here he rubbed shoulders with painters, bullfighters, flamenco dancers and singers and portrayed them in the photos and quick sketches that are on display.
