Verve - once called "the most beautiful magazine in the world" - was first published by Efstratios Teriade in Decmeber of 1937, exhibiting a cover by impressionist painter Henri Matisse. Teriade, an ex-law student worked variously with fellow countryman Christian Zervos on Cahiers d'Art (1926-31), as art critic for the newspaper L'Intransigeant (1928-33), and as artistic director of Minotaure (1933-36) before founding Verve with the financial assistance of David Smart, publisher of Esquire and Apparel Arts. The magazine, a quarterly review of arts and letters, was lavish in design and challenging in content. The 38 issues that proceeded through Europe's war-torn years and ended abruptly in 1960 often featured workby Chagall, Bonard, Matisse, Picasso, Braque, and other distinctive artists of the Paris School.
