THE ART BOOK
Published by Editions Louvre Victoire, this art book is exclusively dedicated to Max Le Verrier’s life and artistic work and celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of his death paying tribute to him.
This work invites you on a journey throughout the time and will immerse you in the roaring twenties- the liberation period, full of pleasures, culturally and artistically buzzing- recounting the hectic and fascinating life of that so creative and talented Art Deco-minded artist.
Deeply involved in the beauty of that movement, Max Le Verrier both sculptor and producer, passed on a priceless artistic heritage to us. His creations embody the French refinement. Most of them realized in the 1920-30’s, still remain amazingly modern and keep being the stuff of dreams all around the world. Let yourself be seduced by the grace and the charm of his iconic sculptures, by the purity and sobriety of their timeless shapes.
As the pages go by, you learn about the fanciful life of that tireless sculptor, illustrated with wonderful pictures of his pieces of art, archives, family and workshop shots; the majority of them never having been seen.
The last part of the book is concerned with the emblematic works, photographed in exceptional places, bringing a touch of elegance and perfectly matching their environment.
Max Le Verrier managed to link preciously the History, arts and crafts, and home design with ingenuity and sensibility.

I received the book today: It's marvellous.
You immediately realise how much passion has gone into this book. Perfect photos that could not have staged the works better, insights into life and time.
Even for "strangers", Max le Verrier comes to life again.

Je viens de finir la lecture de votre ouvrage. J'ai adoré l'histoire
de votre famille, connaître un peu mieux l'histoire extraordinaire
de votre arrière grand-père (quel personnage exceptionnel !)
et de ses oeuvres magnifiques. Pas de doute que son
esprit artistique vous habite. Les photos sont belles,
la mise en page moderne et élégante. Bravo !

The book is a masterpiece in itself.
It gives an insight into the life and work of your great-grandfather.
That time comes back to life in this book, and the works,
either created by your great-grandfather himself or by artist friends,
exude the atmosphere of the 1920s and beyond.
Thank you for this beautiful work! Max would be proud of this anthology !

J'y ai trouvé exactement ce que je cherchais :
entrer dans son histoire intérieure et comprendre l'artiste, m'imaginer à ses côtés dans ces moments là ... les photos ont une valeur de témoignage inégalable. Je trouve que c'est un travail magnifique et je vous félicite très sincèrement.

Cette publication était véritablement attendue et vient combler un vide important dans la bibliographie consacrée à cet artiste.
En tant qu'arrière-petit-fils de l'artiste, vous apportez à cet ouvrage une dimension unique et intime qui enrichit
considérablement notre compréhension de son œuvre.
Votre livre est une véritable réussite et je le recommande vivement à tous les amateurs d'art et à ceux qui souhaitent en apprendre davantage sur l'un des plus grands sculpteurs du XXe siècle.
