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: Pierre Bonnard (1867–1947) was a French painter, printmaker, and illustrator celebrated for his radiant use of color, lyrical compositions, and poetic depictions of modern domestic life. A founding member of Les Nabis—a post-Impressionist group that bridged Symbolism, Impressionism, and early modern abstraction—Bonnard developed a uniquely personal style defined by luminous color harmonies, subtle spatial distortions, and a profound sensitivity to light and texture. His art, often centered on quiet interiors, landscapes, and intimate scenes with his lifelong muse Marthe, captures both the fleeting beauty of daily life and the introspective depth of memory. Deeply influenced by the innovations of Paul Gauguin, Claude Monet, and Japanese ukiyo-e masters such as Hokusai and Hiroshige, Bonnard transformed his influences into a new vision of modernity—one that merged structure and emotion, design and atmosphere. He was closely associated with leading contemporaries including Edouard Vuillard, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Paul Serusier, Maurice Denis, and Felix Vallotton, and his work stands in dialogue with later 20th-century visionaries such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Alexander Calder, Georges Braque, Marc Chagall, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, who admired his expressive command of color and psychological intimacy. Bonnard’s paintings, prints, and drawings are represented in major museums worldwide, including MoMA, the Musee d’Orsay, the Centre Pompidou, and the Tate, and his influence continues to shape the trajectory of modern art. The highest price ever paid for a Pierre Bonnard artwork is approximately $20.4 million USD, achieved in 2019 at Christie’s New York for La Terrasse ou Une terrasse a Grasse (1912).
