Derrière le Miroir (DLM) was an art magazine published between 1946 and 1982 by the French publisher and gallery owner Aimé Maeght of Galerie Maeght, which for many years was the most important gallery in the world for contemporary art. There were a total of 253 editions in 200 volumes. The magazine, itself designed as an art object presented in a large (11 x 15 in) format, is illustrated with original lithographs as well as a number of reproductions. Poets and writers like Aragon, Beckett, Char, Eluard, Prévert, Queneau, Reverdy, Sartre, contributed with unpublished texts. Most of the major artists of the second half of the twentieth century created lithographs for DLM: Léger, Miro, Calder, Tapies, Chillida, Braque, Matisse, Giacometti, and above all Chagall.
The edition of Behind The Mirror, DLM, accompanied each exhibition of the Galerie Maeght in 1946 to 1982. DLM, as it is published for over thirty-five years, was born from the passion of Aimé Maeght to edit and press. DLM was mailed individually to subscribers (which seemed almost from the first to include libraries and museums) and collectors.
