By commenting on exceptional archival photos, Yoyo Maeght analyzes and tells the story and life of his grandfather, Aimé Maeght, a little kid from the North, orphan of the 14-18 war who became a friend of the greatest artists of the twentieth century, but also one of the most important art dealers in the world, then creator of the Maeght Foundation in St. Paul-de-Vence.
