The Maeght Family
This is the first and only book to tell the story of the extremely strong friendships that have linked one remarkable family to literally hundreds of contemporary artists. Miro, Chagall, Mariss, Breton and Duchamp, these are just some of the legendary artists associated with the Maeght family. The original Maeght Gallery was opened in Paris in 1946, today, the Adrien Maeght Gallery is just streets away. The family started its own publishing business, producing catalogues of today's best known artists, but its best legacy is the Aime and Marguerite Maeght Foundation. This museum in the South of France houses some of the greatest masterpieces of 20th Century art and is an architectural marvel in its own right. Told with an authenticity and in-depth knowledge, here is the story of this unique landmark of modern art. The key moments in the family's life are illustrated with over 300 documents that enhance the text's chronology.

Seeing Baya
The first biography of the Algerian artist Baya Mahieddine, celebrated in mid-twentieth-century Paris, her life shrouded in myth. On a flower farm in colonial Algeria, a servant and field worker known as Baya escaped the drudgery of her labor by coloring the skirts in fashion magazines. Three years later, in November 1947, her paintings and fanciful clay beasts were featured in a solo show in Paris. She wasn’t yet sixteen years old. In this first biography of Baya, Alice Kaplan tells the story of a young woman seemingly trapped in subsistence who becomes a sensation in the French capital, then mysteriously fades from the history of modern art—only to reemerge after independence as an ico...

MANY MANY BEGINNIGS
The world is once again reacting against racial discrimination in great solidarity. But is racial discrimination the only shame of humanity? If our civilizations are not moving forward as much as we wanted, isn’t it just for this reason? What about our Nature? What about women rights? What about freedom of thought and modern democracies? What about equal start chances? Are these instantaneous reactions a sufficient solution, really? Human beings can forget easily. Why do hundreds of people die every day? It is not enough to react, it must be internalized. Because once we internalize, we will not be able to think in another way and it will be easier to find a solution. The path to societal ...
La Saga Maeght
À l'occasion des 50 ans de la Fondation Maeght, Yoyo Maeght retrace pour la première fois l'aventure de sa famille extraordinaire. Aimé Maeght, génial marchand d'art, collectionneur et mécène, voua sa vie à l'art moderne et contemporain. Simple ouvrier lithographe, il travailla avec Bonnard puis Matisse. De ces deux rencontres décisives naquit la galerie Maeght, à Paris, en 1945, où furent exposés maîtres modernes et talents en devenir. C'est ainsi qu'Aimé forgea de magnifiques amitiés avec Braque, Miró, Giacometti, Léger, Chagall, Calder, Tàpies, Chillida... mais aussi Malraux, Prévert, Aragon, Char, Reverdy, Sartre, ou Genet. Pour eux, il créa, en 1964, la Fondation Marg...

Finding Dora Maar
“[A] spirited and deeply researched project.... [Benkemoun’s] affection for her subject is infectious. This book gives a satisfying treatment to a woman who has been confined for decades to a Cubist’s limited interpretation.” — Joumana Khatib, The New York Times Merging biography, memoir, and cultural history, this compelling book, a bestseller in France, traces the life of Dora Maar through a serendipitous encounter with the artist’s address book. In search of a replacement for his lost Hermès agenda, Brigitte Benkemoun’s husband buys a vintage diary on eBay. When it arrives, she opens it and finds inside private notes dating back to 1951—twenty pages of phone numbers and a...
The Surreal House
"This multi-disciplinary and cross-generational project explores the central importance of the house within surrealism and its legacies. It brings the first surrealists together with contemporary artists, film-makers and architects. Through a strategy of accumulation and poetic contamination, each informs the other."--Back cover.
