The Galerie Maeght is a gallery of modern art in Paris,[1] France, and Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The gallery was founded in 1936 in Cannes.[2] The Paris gallery was started in 1946 by Aimé Maeght. The artists exhibited are mainly from France and Spain.[3]
The Maeght gallery was inaugurated with the Henri Matisse exhibition in December 1945 in Paris. From 1946, Bonnard, Braque, Marchand, Rouault, Baya exhibited for the first time at the Parisian gallery.
