This edition of Derrière Le Miroir, published by Maeght Éditeur in Paris in 1971, is dedicated to the vibrant and surrealistic work of Richard Lindner. The publication includes several color lithographs and high-quality reproductions, highlighting Lindner’s iconic fusion of machine-like precision, pop eroticism, and theatrical figuration. The cover features two stylized figures locked in a symbolic and ambiguous embrace, referencing Lindner’s recurring interest in costumes, fetishism, and the dynamics of gender and power in urban settings. The booklet captures Lindner’s bold use of color, stylized outlines, and symbolic narratives, making it one of the most visually striking issues in the Derrière Le Miroir series. Richard Lindner (1901–1978) was a German-born painter who became a U.S. citizen after fleeing Nazi Germany and settling in New York. His unique style merged elements of German expressionism, American pop art, and surrealism. Known for his highly original portrayals of modern identity and sexuality, Lindner explored themes of alienation, fetish, and performance through mechanical forms and vivid palettes. His work played a vital role in post-war transatlantic modernism and remains celebrated for its psychological depth and provocative imagery.

This original edition of Derrière Le Miroir is devoted entirely to Gérard Titus-Carmel’s Suite Narwa, published by Maeght Éditeur in Paris in 1976. The unnumbered issue features a series of colour lithographs and printed reproductions reflecting Titus-Carmel’s intricate, conceptual works focused on fragile constructions, broken symmetry, and the poetic logic of collapse. His architectural and geometric motifs are rendered with exceptional graphic delicacy, combining the analytical with the ephemeral. The publication belongs to the renowned Derrière Le Miroir series, which showcased 20th-century masters through specially commissioned lithographs and essays, forming a cornerstone of postwar artist-publisher collaboration in France. Gérard Titus-Carmel (b. 1942) is a leading French painter and writer associated with lyrical abstraction and conceptual figuration. Gaining international recognition in the 1970s, his work is marked by series-based exploration of objects and their transformation, decay, and material presence. His visual practice is often accompanied by poetic and theoretical writings, reflecting his dual engagement with image and text. Titus-Carmel’s work has been exhibited widely and is represented in major museum collections across Europe.
