Lucien Clergue Donation Lucien Clergue, born on 14th August 1934 in Arles, is a French photographer, a member of the Académie de Beaux-‐Arts, part of the Institut de France. Through his connection with his close friend Pablo Picasso, Clergue met Jean Cocteau in 1956, with whom he maintained a friendship and professional rapport until 1963 and the death of the poet. Clergue's photographs of gypsies inspired some of Cocteau's designs for the Chapel of Saint-‐Pierre in Villefranche and the Wedding Room in the Town Hall of Menton. In 1959, when Jean Cocteau was preparing to shoot his last full-‐length film in the quarries of Baux de Provence, he invited Lucien Clergue to photograph the filming, backstage with the crew and actors. These wonderful photographs, labelled by Cocteau, will be included in the book entitled Phénixologie.
