Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) fut écrivain, poète, cinéaste, dessinateur, peintre, scénographe, chorégraphe, photographe, dramaturge et animateur de la scène musicale française. Pendant près de cinquante ans, cet agitateur d'idées et artiste de génie a déployé une activité rodigieuse, diverse et féconde. Le « monde » de Cocteau est particulièrement peuplé : Pablo Picasso, Jean Marais, Coco Chanel, François Truffaut, Man Ray, Amedeo Modigliani, pour n'en nommer que quelques-uns. L'artiste a traversé le vingtième siècle de Proustà Andy Warhol. L'exposition présentée au Musée, qui réunit quelque 700 œuvres, reflétera ce foisonnement où les disciplines et les personnalités se croisent et s'influencent.

The most comprehensive retrospective exhibition to date in France of the eclectic work of Jean Cocteau (1889-1963), poet, writer, critic, but also film director, drawing artist and player on the French musical scene, from the second decade of the 20th century to the 60s. He promoted jazz, cinema and plastic abstraction, he was author of Le Grand Ecart and Le Rappel à l'ordre, had Antigone dressed by Chanel, sponsored the first Cannes Festival and discovered and defended the talent of François Truffaut. The prolificacy of his activities is reflected in the works on show: 335 drawings, 300 photographs, 22 paintings by major artists who celebrated him, 50 or so manuscripts, objects and sculptures.

gen z is defined as those born in 1997-2012 but i feel like if you were born between 97 and 03 you constitute a small middle generation that’s old enough to have favorite movies on vhs but not old enough to have used “adulting” unironically

Hey, look, it's the Raphael I promised! This is my version of Raphael. He is a leatherback sea turtle. I may have made his tail longer just because I like when people make him have a long one. He's the oldest of the four and is the only one who remembers his mother.

Orlando Magic and New Orleans Hornets Swap Williams and Rooks

On February 19th, 2004, the Orlando Magic traded guard Shammond Williams to the New Orleans Hornets for center Sean Rooks.

Sean Rooks joined the New Orleans Hornets in the 2003 offseason, after signing a free agent deal. A 6-10 center with an ability to knock down midrange jumpers, Rooks had a small role in New Orleans as a backup.

The Hornets began the 2003-04 season without All-Star forward Jamal Mashburn who was out with a knee injury. Still, the Hornets began the year well, going 17-7 in the first 24 games. Mashburn later returned in late January and the Hornets remained a legitimate playoff contender.

At the trade deadline, the Hornets were fourth in the East with a 30-24 record. The team decided to make a small move, sending Rooks to the Orlando Magic.

Rooks was unhappy with his playing time. He appeared in 35 games, compiling 2.3 PPG and 1.4 RPG in 9.3 MPG. Rooks was in a crowded frontcourt with starter Jamaal Magloire and reserve Robert "Tractor" Traylor ahead of him in the rotation.

Shammond Williams signed a deal with the Orlando Magic right before 2003 training camp. A combo guard, Williams had a modest role, averaging 4.9 PPG, 1.2 RPG, 1.7 APG and 0.6 SPG in 14.2 MPG and 37 appearances.

The 2003-04 season was a disaster for Orlando. After winning the first game of the season at New York, the Magic dropped 19 consecutive games. During that 19-game losing streak, head coach Doc Rivers was fired and replaced by assistant Johnny Davis.

The Magic played slightly better after the infamous streak, going 7-3 over the next 10 games. However, the team could never recover and fight for a playoff spot. Orlando had an NBA-worst 14-42 record at the trade deadline when it made a couple of moves.

First, the Magic dealt starting two-guard Gordan Giriček to the Utah Jazz for guard DeShawn Stevenson and a future second round pick. The smaller deal was Williams, who was moved to New Orleans for Rooks.

The trade was two teams shuffling the deck as Orlando added some depth at center while New Orleans bolstered its backcourt rotation.

Rooks' minutes jumped initially in Orlando, but he quickly returned to a similar role as New Orleans. He appeared in 20 games with the Magic and registered 3.1 PPG, 2.4 RPG and 0.9 APG in 13.5 MPG. The Magic went 7-19 over the final 26 games to finish 21-61.

A free agent, Rooks did not re-sign with Orlando. He never played another NBA game again. Rooks did continue his professional playing career overseas in Spain.

Shammond Williams arrived to a New Orleans team fighting for playoff positioning in a very weak East. Mashburn's knee issues would return in early March and he was placed on the injured list. He ended up missing the rest of the regular season.

New Orleans went 11-17 after the trade deadline, finishing up with a 41-41 record. Tied with the Milwaukee Bucks for the fifth best record, New Orleans took the fifth seed due to a 3-1 head-to-head record against the Bucks in the regular season.

Williams appeared in 16 games with the Hornets and posted 4.5 PPG, 1.1 RPG, 3.3 APG and 0.9 SPG in 14.9 MPG. The guard shot 34.6% from the field.

In the playoffs, the Hornets faced the number four seed Miami Heat. The first game was in Miami and Heat rookie Dwyane Wade was the main character. The guard had 21 points and made a game-winning runner with 1.3 seconds left to help Miami pull out an 81-79 win in the opener.

Game Two saw all five Heat starters reach double figures and Miami held New Orleans to 20-82 shooting (24.4% on FGs) in a 93-63 rout. In Game Three the Hornets starting backcourt of Baron Davis and David Wesley combined for 39 points as New Orleans held on for a 77-71 victory.

Davis put up 23 points and 10 assists in Game Four as New Orleans evened the series 2-2 with a 96-85 win. The fifth game saw Davis continue to dominate with 33 points, but Heat guard Eddie Jones had 25 points and Wade chipped in 21 as Miami used a 29-20 fourth quarter scoring advantage to win 87-83.

New Orleans built a 14-point lead at home after three quarters and held on for an 89-83 victory to even the series 3-3. In a final Game Seven, Miami had control for much of the game at home. Davis was hobbled with a bad back (as well as knee, elbow and ankle issues), but veteran Steve Smith had 25 points and nearly helped New Orleans tie the game. However, Miami kept its distance and won the game 85-77 and the series 4-3.

In the series loss, Williams saw little playing time. He did receive some minutes in Game Seven to fill in for an ailing Davis. Overall, the guard averaged 2.3 PPG and 1.0 APG in three contests and 6.1 MPG. After the season, Williams became a free agent and did not sign with an NBA team. He joined UNICS Kazan of the Russian Superleague.

Shammond Williams on joining the Hornets (via Hornets.com):

"I'm playing with a lot of guys that I know and played with in the past. It's a great situation for myself, just coming in and being able to help this basketball team make a push in the playoffs. I'm just trying to grasp everything and when I get my opportunity, try to help the team as much as possible."

On going from a team out of the playoff picture to a team competing for a postseason berth:

"It is [a] great opportunity to be in a position to make it to the playoffs as well as do well in the playoffs. I think we have a lot of pieces here that can basically win a championship and I think that's a great situation to be in. It just feels great to have Mr. Bass, Mr. Bristow and Coach Floyd feel like I can help this basketball team and put me in a situation that's much different than what I was in just yesterday."

On what he can bring to the Hornets:

"Anything. Defense....Ball-Handling....Scoring. Whatever they need from me. I'll basically just grasp my role and do whatever it takes. Of course, I have to be Shammond Williams and I think that's what they like in me so hopefully, I can just do the things I need to do."

How he's changed teams often:

"A lot of that has to do with the business of the NBA. You can't change things you don't have control over. When I get my opportunity, I just show the other team they made a mistake. Nobody's really given me the chance, except Coach Westphal in Seattle, my second year there, when I led my team to the playoffs and did well. "Beyond that, nobody's really give me the opportunity to lead a basketball team or just be an integral part of a team. Hopefully, that situation will change in time and I'll be able to show what I'm capable of doing."

Sean Rooks on joining Orlando after a bad experience in New Orleans (via Orlando Sentinel):

"I was lonely there, and I wasn't playing. It was the worst experience I've had in the NBA. That's why I'm so happy to be here, even if people say this team is struggling."

On his role in New Orleans:

"I lost playing time in New Orleans. I was more of an insurance policy for them."

On the trade (via Orlando Sentinel):

"I'm thrilled to be here, and I'm just so glad to be out of my previous situation. I'll help this team, whether it's on the court or off with the young players."

New Orleans Hornets general manager Bob Bass on acquiring Shammond Williams (via Hornets.com):

"Shammond gives our team another quality shooter as we head down the stretch. He has the ability to play both the point guard and (shooting) guard positions."

On the thought process behind the trade (via Hornets.com):

"To give us some insurance at the guard position, whether it be at the two (shooting guard) or the one (point guard). He's a veteran player and we know he can make shots, so we added another shooter to the team. That's basically what the thinking was."

What he likes the most about Williams:

"He can shoot the ball. I think he's got some toughness about him. I think he's an aggressive defender. I was in North Carolina when he played all the way through up there at Chapel Hill (University of North Carolina) and we've seen him play a lot there and in his pro career."

Orlando Magic general manager John Gabriel on acquiring Sean Rooks (via Magic.com):

"Sean (Rooks) brings size to our frontcourt and veteran leadership to our locker room. We look forward to his contributions both on and off the basketball court."

Magic chief operating officer John Weisbrod on Orlando's modest trade deadline (via Orlando Sentinel):

"It might not sound thrilling, but we're happy with what we could do. It's a step along the way."

Hornets head coach Tim Floyd on Williams (via Hornets.com):

"The guy's quick and he can make shots, I know that much. He gives us another guy who can make some shots off the bench. Bottom line is he's behind Baron (Davis), he's behind Darrell (Armstrong) and when David Wesley comes back, he's behind him. So, it'll have to be an opportunistic kind of thing in terms of minutes. It's some insurance as far as we are concerned at this point and hopefully he'll come in and help us win a game or two."
