    25. Irving Penn – Jean Cocteau (1948)
Artist: Irving Penn (1917-  )
	Title: Jean Cocteau (1948) 
	Media: platinum-paldium print
	Comments: Penn made this portrait of Jean Cocteau during a 1948 trip to Paris for Vogue. Each 
							  thread of Cocteau's tie, vest, and suit is etched in light and shadow; the patterns and
							  the texture pop out in vivid, tactile detail. The drape of his coat over an extended 
							  arm adds drama and balance to the composition. Cocteau is dressed in the sartorial 
							  attire of a dandy, which, by all accounts, he was. There is an air of flamboyance about
							  him, until you look at his face. His dead-serious expression registers the fierce 
							  intelligence of a keen observer, as if he is taking our measure while deigning to allow 
							  us to take his photograph.(14)

26. Steller’s Jay
Cyanocitta stelleri/
	Size: L 11”     WS 16”     WT 3 oz       
	Location (date): Colorado (Jan)
	Media: Digital Photograph
	Comments: Habituating readily to humans, Steller’s Jays are well-known bird at feeders, picnic
							  areas, and campgrounds, where their loud, often raucous, calls announce their presence. 
							  The species has been the focus of detailed behavioral studies, revealing complex social 
							  behavior and vocal communications. Steller’s Jays show site-centered dominance, 
							  which is thought to be intermediate between territorial and colonial social behavior. (15)
