more from Cocteau & L’ange Heurtebise,1925
The angel Heurtebise was not only a guardian angel, but also a kind of demon for artistic jack-of-all-trades Jean Cocteau. He showed up as a muse, but also as an angel of death and as the reincarnation of Cocteau’s lover Raymond Radiguet, who had died prematurely. As legend has it, Cocteau was standing in an elevator when the angel spoke to him and divulged his name: it was the same as that of elevator manufacturer Heurtebise. In a haze that lasted seven days, Cocteau wrote the poem L’ange Heurtebise.
Frontispiece by Man Ray
…My guardian angel, Heurtebise,
I guard you, I hit you,
I break you, I change
Your guard every hour.
On guard, summer! I challenge
You, if you’re a man. Admit
Your beauty, angel of white lead,
Caught in a photograph by an
Explosion of magnesium.
[portrait attributed to Man Ray and Berenice Abbott] from L’Ange Heurtebise

i loved this quote from the link:
‘I tried to rearrange the sexual elements of a girl’s body like a sort of plastic anagram. I remember describing it thus: the body is like a sentence that invites us to rearrange it, so that its real nature becomes clear through a series of endless anagrams.’
