Thierry Lefort, the first monograph
By Yoyo Maeght, foreword by Jean-Christophe Grangé

It all began with a comment on an Instagram post about Bonnard: a few apt and luminous words, signed by a painter based in Saint-Ouen. A few days later, Yoyo Maeght walked into his studio. Two months later, she organized his first exhibition in Paris.

This book tells the story of this encounter and the work it revealed. Sun-baked roads, parked cars, giant palm trees, power lines: Thierry Lefort paints scenes that no one looks at and finds beauty in them. His shadows are neither gray nor black, but a deep and vibrant blue. They have become his signature, from Paris to Los Angeles.

Granddaughter of Aimé Maeght, companion of Miró, Giacometti, and Calder, Yoyo Maeght presents an intimate account, accompanied by over a hundred reproduced works, photographs of the studio and exhibitions.

“Painting still holds unexplored territories, new dizzying heights, and unsuspected beauties.”
Yoyo Maeght
