When @philippe_halsman_official was commissioned by LIFE Magazine to photograph Jean Cocteau to coincide with the US release of Cocteau’s film, L’Aigle à Deux Têtes (The Eagle With Two Heads), his brief was to capture on camera what goes on “inside a poet’s mind.”
.
Of all of the pictures they took that day, Cocteau’s personal favourite was one that also perhaps captures Halsman’s talent most incisively. Published as the centrefold on the first page of the spread in February, 1949, the picture is a “Januslike double profile,” of Cocteau, shot simply against a black background. Halsman, always inventive and experimental with his methods, cut two negatives and sandwiched them together to create the image. Years later, Halsman discovered that Cocteau had paid the photographer “the ultimate compliment.” He had reproduced the photograph as a drawing, which he used as his signature.
