About This Item
Paris: Maeght Éditeur, 1979. First edition. Softcover. Fine condition. Folio. 31 [1]pp. as issued. Original lithographic wraps, front in color, back in b/w. In addition to the three lithographs this issue is illustrated with eight color and twelve b/w offset reproductions of Chagall's work, including three double pages, two of these in color, one in b/w. The text accompanying this publication is by Jean Bruller (Pseudonym Vercors). With table of plates included at rear. Text in French. Minor wear along edges of wraps and pages slightly age-toned. 'Derrière le Miroir' accompanied each exposition at the Galerie Maeght in Paris France. The first issue appeared in 1946, The last #253 of the collection in 1982. DLM is born out of the passion of Aime and Marguerite Maeght. The first issues were intended by Aime Maeght to be spread among a large public, with original lithographs. 10,000 Copies were printed and distributed through kiosks. This failed completely and the remaining copies were sold by weight to finance the printing of issue 4, which was printed at only 1500 copies and was the catalog for the George Braque exhibition at the Galerie. Jacques Kober and Rene Char wrote the texts. This concept was continued in later issues combining great writers with great artists. In 1947, Adrien Maeght, joined the firm of his parents and assisted his father in the layout and execution. The artists created original lithographs to illustrate DLM. Mourlot did the lithographic printing and the text was printed by Union in issues 4-115. From 116-148, DLM was shot in the studios of Aime Maeght. Since 1960 an edition 'deluxe' was issued, on Arches paper, limited to 150 copies.
