A rare poster, ca. 1950 for an exhibition at CDMI in Paris honoring Le Groupe des Six. The poster features a printed composite caricature by Cocteau of the composers (Auric, Durey, Honegger, Milhaud, Poulenc, Tailleferre), to which he has added, in blue ink along the left side, a fine original drawing of Orpheus with his lyre. Signed "Jean" with his customary small star in blue ink. 54 x 36 cm. Rigid poster, a few surface scratches and nicks to edges, one small tear repaired at opposite side from drawing, otherwise fine and highly presentable.
