- Tériade
Tériade (real name Stratis Eleftheriades - Στρατής Ελευθεριάδης) (1889-1983) was a native of
Mytilene who went toParis in 1915 at the age of eighteen to study law, but who instead became an art critic, patron, and, most signifantly, a publisher.From 1937 to 1975 he commissioned various individuals of the pinnacle artists and philosophers such as
Picasso ,Matisse ,René Daumal in the first half of the century to produce series of works for his legendary quarterly journal "Verve" or the later "Grands Livres".There is a "Tériade Museum", which opened in 1979 in the southern Mytilene suburb of
Varia . The books are displayed in sixteen rooms over two floors of the specially built museum.In France, there is a donation of Tériade at the Departmental Museum of
Le Cateau-Cambrésis .External links
