During the Second World War he operated one of the network of 'free houses' where artists fleeing persecution by the Nazi's (who gave their work the label Degenerate Art') could find solace.ĭuring its career, the art magazine grew from strength to strength, and now has become one of the cornerstones of any collector's stockpile. Aime Maeght was born in the northernmost commune of France, near the Belgium border, and after a successful academic career where he excelled, he was forced to flee the oncoming Nazi occupation of France. Now, the magazine has become very desirable by dedicated collectors of certain artists, who wish to find every available piece of work from their artist of choice.ĭerrier Le Miroir attainted a good reputation in its time as a standard of art journaling, mainly thanks to the hard work ethic of Aime Maeght, a lithographer and art critic whose efforts later went into Maeght Editions, a boutique publishing house. The magazine followed its sisters in printing unique lithographic and woodcut prints for the artists featured in each edition, with the pieces being commissioned especially for Derrier Le Miroir, providing a new outlet for an artist's work. Of the writers and poets it featured - it exhibited short pieces or poems by Apollinaire, Prevert, Limbour and Bonnefoy. During its time it featured Matisse, Miro, Chagall as well as Calder, and Villeri. Like its sister publications in France at the time (Lazzaro's Xxe Siecle, de Jour, and the Verve), Derrier Le Miroir sought to present to a much wider audience the works of the up-and-coming Modernist artists, as their work and impact on the art world was beginning to reverberate around the galleries of the world.ĭerrier Le Miroir is perhaps one of the most successful of the 'stable' purely for the fact that it published over 200 editions, covering a period between 1946 to the 1980's. The "Behind the Mirror" Review was an art and literary journal published just after the Second World War in Cannes, Paris, simultaneously marking the return of artistic freedoms to the country and the liberation of France. ![]()
