Paradox Editions launches the “Beyond the Frame” collection with two works dedicated to two major artists from the great era of Montparnasse, Marie Vassilieff and Tsuguharu-Léonard Foujita, and entrusts its direction to Sylvie Buisson.
This collection, dedicated to figures in the art world—artists, dealers, and cultural actors—was prompted by the discovery of two typewritten manuscripts. Off the beaten path, far from the cultural highways, it gives voice to intimate, hidden, and confidential narratives. The unpublished texts, buried deep in drawers, reveal far more about the difficulties, passions, and successes of creators than any encyclopedia.
These works, based on precious documents, intimately reveal the lives and creations of artists who left their mark on their era. They were part of the cosmopolitan avant-garde community of the 20th century in the famous Montparnasse district, where the artists of the School of Paris lived. These are testimonies about the wellsprings of creation, inspiration, the emotions of artists, and their personal commitment to renewing all forms of expression. Marie Vassilieff and Foujita, friends in life as in art [Foujita depicts her in his paintings], contributed to the artistic effervescence of a district considered between 1900 and 1939 to be the world center of all arts, enriching it with their personal contributions and their original cultures, Russian and Japanese.
