Christian Zervos (1889–1970) was a Greek historian, collector of (mostly) French art, and writer. He established his art gallery, publishing house, and magazine all under the name Cahiers d'Art in 1926. The magazine ran from 1926 to 1960 and was only interrupted between 1941 and 1943 during World War II. During this time, Zervos published 97 issues of Cahiers d'Art as well as 50 books. The success of this legendary magazine is attributed to its impactful typography and layout, among other things. Additionally, Cahiers d'Art often produced original artwork through its collaboration with artists like Joan Miró and Marcel Duchamp. The text was equally stimulating and included writing from Samuel Beckett, René Char, Paul Éluard, Ernest Hemingway, Jacques Lacan and Tristan
