Tériade was a man who comprehended the meaning of modern art and stood by young artists supporting them. He managed to create a dialectic relationship between writers and poets and in general among intellectuals focusing on written/printed word and painters. Thanks to him and his ability to create and inspire friendship and cooperation it was possible for his publications to remain unaffected by time and fashion, becoming monuments of written word and (visual) art.
The publications of Tériade involved a multitude of leading artists at their prime who during the specific economic and social circumstances could work with persistence and in freedom.
