Item description: Derrier Le Miroir: The “Behind the Mirror” Review was an art and literary journal published just after the Second World War in Cannes, Paris, simultaneously marking the return of artistic freedoms to the country and the liberation of France. Like its sister publications in France at the time (Lazzaro’s Xxe Siecle, de Jour, and the Verve), Derrier Le Miroir sought to present to a much wider audience the works of the up-and-coming Modernist artists, as their work and impact on the art world was beginning to reverberate around the galleries of the world.
