Specialist note

The esteemed printmaker Aimé Maeght worked closely with many of the 20th Century's greatest artists, among them Marc Chagall and Fernand Léger. Thee prints published by Maeght Editeur in Paris offer an important glimpse into the relationship between artist and printmaker, bringing colour back to Post War Europe.
