The woodcut illustrations and multi-directional typographic arrangements are typical of Dada-influenced style. Cocteau’s 1918 manifesto Le Coq et l'Arlequin, which called for a reorientation of musical composition away from the past and toward Paris’s urban present of cabarets and theaters, is a likely point of reference for the journal’s title and approach.\" (Anna Fishaut, text for the exhibition 'Revues: Vues Rares', The Art \u0026amp; Architecture Library, Stanford University, Stanford CA.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"While appearing to imitate Picabia's '391' with its folded format, fragmented text and variegated typography, 'Le Coq' surpassed it completely with its sparkling cocktail of anti-Dada wit, 'désinvolture', high spirits and gaiety that sought to celebrate the 'pure' French spirit...The first [issue], in pale pink, included a text on the cover by Auric entitled 'Bonjour, Paris!'. This was followed inside by a statement of faith from Satie (essentially a two-fingers up at Ravel), a protest by Radiguet against a Frenchman's obligation always to be an intellectual and a side-swipe at Stravinsky while celebrating his rival Schoenberg.  All the numbers of 'Le Coq' took as their principal theme variations of the slogan that appeared in the first issue: 'Return to poetry. Disappearance of the skyscraper.  Reappearance of the rose.' \" (James S. Williams, \"Jean Cocteau\", p. 96 - 97)","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093267370143,"sku":"5702","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Satie_Le_Coq_1.jpg?v=1722186951","url":"https:\/\/www.schubertiademusic.com\/products\/5702-satie-erik-cocteau-jean-le-coq-issues-1-4","provider":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
