"Ne jetez plus vos vieux bijoux" - Erik Satie
"Exception faite pour Claude Debussy, l'orchestre poussiéreux des impressionnistes n'est pas de l'orchestrea. C'est du piano orchestré." - Erik Satie
"Jean Cocteau is attributed as founder and guiding light, with contributions by an impressive array of the Parisian musical, artistic, and literary avant-garde of the early 1920s, including Tristan Tzara (who had moved to Paris from Zurich), Erik Satie, Blaise Cendrars, and Max Jacob. The woodcut illustrations and multi-directional typographic arrangements are typical of Dada-influenced style. Cocteau’s 1918 manifesto Le Coq et l'Arlequin, which called for a reorientation of musical composition away from the past and toward Paris’s urban present of cabarets and theaters, is a likely point of reference for the journal’s title and approach." (Anna Fishaut, text for the exhibition 'Revues: Vues Rares', The Art & Architecture Library, Stanford University, Stanford CA.)
"While appearing to imitate Picabia's '391' with its folded format, fragmented text and variegated typography, 'Le Coq' surpassed it completely with its sparkling cocktail of anti-Dad wit, 'désinvolture, high spirits and gaiety that sought to celebrate the 'pure' French spirit....All the numbers of 'Le Coq' took as their principal theme variations of the slogan that appeared in the first issue: 'Return to poetry. Disappearance of the skyscraper. Reappearance of the rose.' " (James S. Williams, "Jean Cocteau", p. 96 - 97)
