Writer & filmmaker
Jean Cocteau
Worked in poetry, novels, theatre, painting and film, and made Beauty and the Beast in 1946 in a France with almost no electricity or film stock.
Jean Maurice Eugène Clément Cocteau was a French poet, playwright, novelist, designer, film director, visual artist and critic. He was one of the foremost avant-garde artists of the 20th century and highly influential on the Surrealist and Dadaist movements, among others. The National Observer suggested that "of the artistic generation whose daring gave birth to Twentieth Century Art, Cocteau came closest to being a Renaissance man".
