About the Item
This exquisite lithograph by Pierre Pallut (1900–1985), titled Sans titre (Untitled), originates from the 1964 folio Derriere le Miroir, Nos. 144–145–146, L’Hommage a Georges Braque (Tribute to Georges Braque). Published by Maeght Editeur, Paris, under the direction of Aime Maeght, and printed by Mourlot Freres, Paris, this composition exemplifies the refined sensibility and lyrical abstraction that characterized mid-century French modernism. In Sans titre, Pallut explores the interplay between geometry and gesture, creating a poetic harmony of form and movement that reflects the spiritual elegance of the postwar School of Paris.
Executed on velin paper, this lithograph measures 15 x 11 inches (38.1 x 27.9 cm). Signed in the plate and unnumbered, as issued. The edition exemplifies the harmony and restraint that define Pallut’s approach to line, color, and composition.

Excerpted from the folio (translated from French): Taken from this special issue of “Behind the Mirror,” CCCL examples on velin de Rives were numbered, constituting the original edition of L’Hommage a Georges Braque. These deluxe examples also included an etching based on Trois oiseaux sur fond violet. The lithographs for this issue were printed in the ateliers of Maeght Editeur, Levallois. The text was printed by Fequet et Baudier, typographers. Finished printing May 13, 1964.
About the Publication:
Derriere le Miroir (translated as "Behind the Mirror") was an iconic French art periodical published from 1946 to 1982 by Maeght Editeur, one of the most influential art publishers of the 20th century. Founded by Aime Maeght in Paris, the publication was conceived as a visual and literary collaboration between leading modern artists, poets, and critics. Each issue functioned as both an exhibition catalogue and a work of art in itself—featuring original lithographs printed directly from the artists' stones or plates, alongside essays, poems, and critical commentary. Over the course of 36 years, Derriere le Miroir produced more than 250 issues and showcased an extraordinary roster of artists including Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall, Joan Miro, Georges Braque, Alexander Calder, Fernand Leger, Pierre Bonnard, Alberto Giacometti, Eduardo Chillida, Ellsworth Kelly, Francis Bacon, Paul Rebeyrolle, Claude Garache, Antoni Tapies, Bram van Velde, Pierre Alechinsky, Pol Bury, Shusaku Arakawa, and Gerard Titus-Carmel. Printed in the ateliers of Mourlot, Arte, and Imprimerie Moderne du Lion, the periodical set new standards for quality in color lithography, combining fine art printing with elegant typography and poetic text. Beyond its visual brilliance, Derriere le Miroir also became a cultural chronicle of postwar European modernism. Each issue coincided with exhibitions held at Galerie Maeght, providing a collectible and widely accessible record of groundbreaking shows. Its integration of image, text, and philosophy created a dialogue between art and literature that elevated the modern art book to new aesthetic heights. Today, Derriere le Miroir remains one of the most sought-after and historically significant art publications, prized by collectors and scholars alike for its craftsmanship, influence, and its role in defining the visual language of 20th-century modernism. The Maeght Foundation in Saint-Paul-de-Vence continues to honor this legacy through exhibitions and archival preservation of the series, affirming Derriere le Miroir's enduring place in the history of modern art and fine art publishing.
About the Artist:
Pierre Pallut (1900–1985) was a French painter, draftsman, and printmaker celebrated for his refined lyrical abstraction and poetic interpretation of form, light, and atmosphere. Working in postwar Paris, Pallut developed a painterly language that bridges modern abstraction and classical balance, using subtle tonal harmonies and expressive brushwork to evoke mood and movement. His art reflects the intellectual and aesthetic spirit of the great modern masters—Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Alexander Calder, Georges Braque, Marc Chagall, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray—whose explorations of form, color, and perception helped shape the evolution of 20th-century art. Pallut’s work, often rooted in the natural world yet deeply abstracted, combines emotional resonance with compositional precision, making it highly sought after by collectors of European modernism. Exhibited throughout France and Europe, his paintings and works on paper are represented in numerous public and private collections. The highest price ever paid for a Pierre Pallut artwork at auction is approximately $18,000 USD, achieved in 2020 at Sotheby’s Paris for Composition Abstraite (1957).
