Cahiers d’Art: Souvenirs De L’Exposition (1937)
A remarkable issue of the legendary avant-garde journal Cahiers d’Art, dedicated to the 1937 Paris Exposition.

This edition features stunning photography by Hugo Herdeg and essays on architecture and national pavilions, including contributions on designs by Alvar Aalto, Josep Lluís Sert, and others.

- Note d’un touriste à l’exposition by Ozenfant
- Réflexions sur l’architecture by Joseph Ney
- Features on pavilions of Czechoslovakia (Jaromir Krejcar), Finland (Alvar Aalto), Spain (Lacasa & Sert), Sweden (Sven Ivar Lind), and Japan (Junzō Sakakura)

Cahiers d’Art—revived in 2012—remains a touchstone of avant-garde publishing, celebrated for its collaborations with luminaries like Picasso, Calder, Beckett, and Hemingway.
