Passion de l'art. La Galerie Jeanne Bucher Jaeger, depuis 1925

Exhibition Catalogue Passion de l'art. La Galerie Jeanne Bucher Jaeger, depuis 1925, présentée au musée Granet, Aix en Provence (24 juin - 24 septembre 2017).

In 1925, Jeanne Bucher created the gallery and exhibited cubists, surrealists, primitivists, and abstract artists from the pre-war period.

From its origins, the Jeanne Bucher Gallery was situated in an avant-garde climate, not limiting itself to any one trend exclusively, and exhibited cubists, surrealists, primitivists, and abstract artists from the pre-war period.

During the war, Jeanne Bucher, an engaged gallerist recognized for her fearlessness in promoting and championing the most innovative artists, also supported Joan Miró, Dora Maar and Vera Pagava, Hans Reichel and the new currents of abstraction, André Lanskoy and Nicolas de Staël. She pursued her considerable work as editor of art books, principally with Georges Hugnet, and brought back from the United States in 1946 important works of American artists such as Mark Tobey and Robert Motherwell, whom she intended to present to the Parisian public before death took her in November of the same year.

This catalog aims to trace, in a precise way, the history of the gallery from its creation to the present day.
