Art and Life ‘Intimately Mingled’

TERIADE, pseud. [i.e.Stratis ELEFTHERIADES (editor)]. VERVE Issues 1-4. I. December 1937; II. Spring 1938 (March–June); III. October–December 1938; IV. January–March 1939. Paris: 4 Rue Férou (6e). December 1937–March 1939.

Sharp, bright copies of the first four English-language issues of one of the high points of twentieth-century periodical publishing, featuring work by many of the greatest artists and writers of the age.

Like The Yellow Book (1894–1897), La Revue Blanche (1889–1903), and Blast (1914–1915), Teriade’s Parisian Verve review captured the spirit of its moment. The prefatory statement in the first issue boldly declares:

‘VERVE proposes to present art as intimately mingled with the life of each period and to furnish testimony of the participation by artists in the essential events of their time. It is devoted to artistic creation in all fields and in all forms. […] It will present documents as they are, without any arrangement which might detract from their naturalness. The value of its elements will depend on their character, the selection of them that has been made and the significance they assume through their disposition in the magazine. That the illustrations may retain the import of the originals, VERVE will utilize the technical methods best suited to each reproduction. It will call on the best specialists of heliogravure in colors and in black and white, as well as of typography, and will not disdain to employ the forgotten process of lithography. The luxuriousness of VERVE will consist in the publication of documents as fully and as perfectly as possible.’

These first four issues each bear striking wraparound colour covers by Matisse, Braque, Bonnard, and Rouault respectively, signalling the remarkable range of art and literature within. A brief glance at the contents pages reveals an extraordinary roll call of the greatest artists and writers at work during the early decades of the century: the first issue alone includes writing by Gide, Bataille, Dos Passos, Lorca, Malraux, and Michaux, alongside fine reproductions of paintings by Watteau, Corot, Delacroix, and Courbet, as well as recent work by Matisse, Derain, Bonnard, and Maillol; subsequent issues feature writing by Hemingway, Joyce, Sartre, and many others. First published in December 1937, Verve survived in various forms until 1960. These notably bright copies of the first four issues support John Russell’s description of the journal ‘s[inging] out from the other side of the street in a way that made us run across the road to look […] more closely.’

See Russell, ‘Flair for the Grand Gesture: Celebrating a Magazine’, New York Times (1988).

Good pillows
Color: Cooling Blue Cover, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
Takes some getting used to but and the cooling doesn’t last very long in my opinion, but overall amazing comfy pillows. The materials are good and are washable. I mostly stopped waking up with a stiff neck and back.

Believe the Reviews
Color: Cooling Blue Cover, Size: King (Pack of 2)
I purchased these pillows because we were in need of new pillows, I previously had allswell pillows which were from walmart and they were good to start but now they tragically became very sparse and it started to effect my sleep so I saw these after careful review on other pillows and reviews I came across these and I saw some reviews and videos and I ordered them.. first they are king size we ordered they are perfect for the bed, they are plump and soft, they are memory foam which has always worked out for me for support and kept it’s shape these are great it did have a little smell I guess from packaging but other than that they are a huge upgrade from what we had before! I’m excited because they are cooling too! for the price point can’t beat it and this is coming from someone who was about to spend money on a purple pillow this will be good for now definitely buy it.

Inconsistent
Color: Cooling Blue Cover, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
Ive ordered two different batches of these pillows, the first was a 2 pack, the second batch was a 4 pack. The pillows that came in the 2 pack have a different quality to them. The memory foam feels thicker, takes long to depress and to spring back to form. It offers more resistance, a heavier odor (at the start), and was the pillow that I fell in love with. Things changed when I ordered the 4 pack a couple months later. There was an inconsistency between the foam in these two different batches. both sets of pillows are comfortable. The first batch being firmer means I had to remove more foam before it became comfortable but the 2nd batch being more springy, I was able to keep all the foam inside. I docked a couple stars because I’m not able to provide a consistent experience with these pillows across all three beds in my home. If you need a pillow, order a set and be happy. If you want a bunch of memory foam pillows throughout your house, maybe look elsewhere as these may not all be identical.

Very cool and comfortable pillows. Great value.
Color: Cooling Blue Cover, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
These pillows are everything described on the site. They do retain shape and don’t flatten out after sleeping all night. They are nice and clean looking and comfortable. The fit on my king size bed is perfect cause I prefer the size to king size. Haven’t had to wash them yet but I have had other pillows with the same material inside and the wash ability is great.

Great pillow
Color: Cooling Blue Cover, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
The pillows feel great. Being able to remove portions of the interior allowed me and my wife to have a perfect fit. They do stay cool which seems to have helped with my restlessness.
