A refined portrait collection by Denise Colomb, Portraits d’Artistes: Les Années 50/60 presents an intimate visual record of some of the most influential artists of the mid twentieth century.

Published in 1986, the book brings together 49 photographic plates capturing key cultural figures across art, architecture, and modernist movements. Colomb’s approach is marked by restraint and sensitivity, producing portraits that feel both direct and psychologically nuanced.

Among the subjects featured are major figures such as Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Marc Chagall, and Le Corbusier, among others.

Rather than staged or performative imagery, Colomb’s photographs emphasize presence and character offering a quiet yet powerful documentation of artistic identity during a pivotal cultural period.

A subtle and historically rich portrait archive.

Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.

We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.

To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.

We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
