Temporary exhibitions
JEAN COCTEAU
L'Enchanteur
From May 8th to November 11th, 2025
Jean Cocteau, writer, poet, playwright, film-maker and illustrator, is being honoured this year by the Musée Yves Brayer and the Mairie des Baux-de-Provence. A multi-faceted artist, he left his mark on the 20th century.
More than a hundred works, photos and posters from plays, films and stage productions are brought together around three themes, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the dreamlike, engaging and complex worlds, inspired by the myths and dreams, of this ‘Prince of Poets’.
First, the Storms: Les Enfants terribles, La Voix humaine and Le Bel indifférent, then the Enchantments: L'Eternel retour, Le Jeune homme et la mort, La Belle et la Bête and L'Aigle à deux têtes, and finally La Traversée du miroir : Le Sang d'un Poète, Orphée and Testament d'Orphée.
Arles photographer Lucien Clergue immortalised the filming of the Testament d'Orphée in Baux-de-Provence. An exceptional collection of his photographs completes our exhibition, giving us an intimate insight into the artist's work.
In keeping with our tradition, the permanent collections will be revisited, featuring drawings by Jean Cocteau in conjunction with works by Yves Brayer.
