4.0 out of 5 stars A refined Tom of Finland, September 27, 2001

By A Customer

I accidentally stumbled across the work of this artist during a recent trip abroad. I had never heard of Cocteau or his reputation as an artist. His nudes are both provocative and engaging. Although this book only shows one dimension of his craft, it is well assembled and the quality of the publication is exceptional. Don't miss your chance to see his work if you can. There is really nothing else like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars You can FEEL the blood flowing through his penises! :--), July 2, 2005

By	yippee1999 "yippee1999" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews

Seriously though. I have never seen such amazing penises!! I came across a show of Jean Cocteau work at a museum in Montreal in 2004. I was not familiar with him, but immediately fell in love. Homoerotic drawings are just one type of his works, but I must say, the realism in these drawings is just phenomenal...
