Paradox Editions \u2013 “Beyond the Frames” Collection<\/u><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n
Paradox Editions launches the “Beyond the Frames” collection with two works dedicated to two major artists from Montparnasse’s golden age, Marie Vassilieff and Tsuguharu-L\u00e9onard Foujita, entrusting its direction to Sylvie<\/span> Buisson.<\/p>\n The discovery of two typewritten manuscripts prompted this collection, dedicated to key figures in the art world \u2013 artists, dealers, and cultural actors. Off the beaten path, far from the cultural highways, it gives voice to intimate, hidden, and confidential narratives. Unpublished texts, buried in drawers, reveal far more about the difficulties, passions, and successes of creators than any encyclopedia.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n These works, based on precious documents, intimately reveal the life and work 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 concerning 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 depicted her in his paintings], contributed to the artistic effervescence of a district considered between 1900 and 1939 as the world center of all arts, enriching it with their personal contributions and their original cultures, Russian and Japanese.
