Abstract

Abstract: In general, Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) is interpreted as a surrealist artist. However, if it is indeed possible to recognize the presence of common elements between Cocteau's art and the surrealist artists' approach to the extraordinary, the unconscious and the absurd, on the other hand there is a distinction of nature and function between their respective uses. In Jean Cocteau’ art, the use of materialization of the unreal, the dream, the mythical and the 'logic of the absurd' are part not of a transgression of sensible reality, but of the poet's own existential identity and worldview as a character who seeks to experience and translate deeper realities. In this papers, I’m effort to demonstrate: 1) the principle and unity of Jean Cocteau's multifaceted art based on the concept of 'poetic vehicles'; and 2) how the artwork of the French artist leads us to the need to understand, interpret and experience his art beyond a dichotomy between epistemic authorities, but differently, from an interrelation between surface interpretation and deep experience and interpretation, which I call swimming-diving criticism.

Key-words: Jean Cocteau. Poetical vehicles. Swimming-diving criticism.
