Jacques Lassaigne

Jacques Lassaigne (born in Paris on December 17, 1911, and died on February 10, 1983) was a French art historian, art critic, and museum curator. He served as the president of the International Association of Art Critics from 1966 to 1969 and was the chief curator of the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris from 1971 to 1978. Lassaigne's books and museum exhibitions, accompanied by catalogues and essays, constitute a significant contribution to art history.

Lassaigne was a prolific author, writing numerous scholarly books on art history, often in collaboration with the publisher Albert Skira and his publishing house, Editions D'Art Albert Skira, during the 1950s and 1960s. Many of these works were translated into English, Italian, German, and Spanish, and published internationally. Provided by Wikipedia
