Christian Zervos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christian Zervos (Greek: Χρήστος Ζερβός; Argostoli, Cefalonia, Greece, January 1, 1889 – September 12, 1970, Paris) was a French art historian, critic, collector, writer and publisher.[1]
Better known as an art critic in his own right, Zervos founded the magazine Cahiers d'art (1926–1960) in Paris, and ran an art gallery.
He was a connoisseur of modern painting in his time, and of Greek art and prehistoric art. He published several books, of which the most important are: The Art of Crete, The Art of the Cyclades, L'art de l'époque du Renne en France, and a catalogue raisonné of the work of Pablo Picasso.
M. Christian Durquet, Conservator of Patrimony at the Musée de l'Art Contemporain, ordered the establishment of a Zervos Museum at Vézelay.
