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 de 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: Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901) was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman, and illustrator celebrated for his vivid and empathetic depictions of Parisian nightlife during the Belle Epoque. A master observer of character and movement, Toulouse-Lautrec chronicled the bohemian world of Montmartre—its cabarets, performers, dancers, and cafes—with a revolutionary use of color, composition, and line that redefined both fine art and commercial design. His iconic posters for the Moulin Rouge and other venues not only captured the exuberant energy of modern urban life but also elevated lithography to the level of high art. Despite his physical frailty due to a congenital condition, his creative output was prolific and profoundly influential, shaping the evolution of modern visual culture. Inspired by the expressive realism of Honore Daumier, Edgar Degas, and Edouard Manet, as well as the vivid color and composition of Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, Toulouse-Lautrec absorbed and transformed these influences into a bold, modern visual language uniquely his own. He worked and exhibited among many of the most important artists of his time, including Vincent van Gogh, Edgar Degas, Paul Gauguin, Pierre Bonnard, Edouard Vuillard, and Paul Signac, and his work stands in lasting dialogue with the great modern masters who followed—Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Alexander Calder, Georges Braque, Marc Chagall, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray—each of whom shared his drive to reinvent art for the modern age. His paintings, drawings, and lithographs are represented in major museums worldwide, including the Musee d’Orsay, the National Gallery, the Tate, and MoMA, where they continue to captivate audiences for their psychological depth and timeless vitality. The highest price ever paid for a Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec artwork is approximately $22.4 million USD, achieved in 2005 at Christie’s London for La Blanchisseuse (1886–87).
