Raised by Parisian bourgeois parents, he was accustomed to  a cultured environment, and began publishing poetry as a teenager. He crossed paths with other significant writers and artists, like Marcel Proust, Pablo Picasso, Guillaume Apollinaire, and Amedo Modigliani. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHis early works focused on literary and theatrical pieces, blending classical mythology with surrealist stylings. His notable works include the play \u003cem\u003eOrphée\u003c\/em\u003e (1926), the novel \u003cem\u003eLes Enfants terribles \u003c\/em\u003e(1929), the film \u003cem\u003eThe Blood of a Poet \u003c\/em\u003e(1930), and his classic film adaption \u003cem\u003eBeauty and the Beast \u003c\/em\u003e(1946).
