EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Les Six, an avant-garde musical group sponsored by the renowned Jean Cocteau in 1921. Painted by Jacques-Emile Blanche, this oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 190.5x112 cm and is housed at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Rouen, France. In the center of the composition sits pianist Marcelle Meyer, surrounded by five members of Les Six: Germaine Tailleferre, Darius Milhaud, Arthur Honegger, Jean Wiener. On the right side stands Georges Auric, Francis Poulenc (known for his homage to Erik Satie), and their sponsor Jean Cocteau himself. It's worth noting that Louis Durey was absent from this particular gathering. Les Six was a collective name given to these six French composers who collaborated closely while working in Montparnasse. Inspired by Mily Balakirev's The Five, Les Six emerged as a response to critic Henri Collet's article titled "Les cinq Russes, les six Francais et M. Satie" published in 1920. This photograph not only pays tribute to Erik Satie but also showcases the unique bond between these talented musicians who pushed boundaries and challenged traditional norms through their innovative compositions. A true masterpiece capturing a significant moment in musical history!
