Verve was a Parisian art magazine published from 1937 to 1960. Its publisher and editor, E. Teriade, wanted his magazine to be a place for artists to realize themselves fully. The magazine featured artwork from artists such as Picasso, Matisse, Klee, Miro and Kandinsky. Intertwined with the artwork were other visual works and writings. Excerpts from essays by writers like Camus, Malraux, and Gide, old manuscripts and photographs, and anything else Teriade found appealing were included in the publications. Overall, the magazine was not just a collection of artworks, but the 38 publications were all conceived as works of art themselves. The prints included in the publications are now in collections of major art institutions around the world.
