Louis Clayeux
Louis Clayeux (1913–2007) was a French gallerist, director of the Galerie Maeght, art critic, editor and publisher associated with Maeght circle and its publishing program. Closely involved in the production of the journal Derrière le miroir, he played an important role in organizing exhibitions and promoting artists connected with the gallery in the early 1950s. In October 1951, Clayeux selected four of Ellsworth Kelly’s paintings—Meschers, Cité, Green and White, and Yellow and White (all 1951)—for the annual Tendance exhibition at Galerie Maeght on rue de Téhéran in Paris. The painting Meschers was notably admired by Georges Braque.
He later developed a close personal relationship with Kelly, and the two maintained an active correspondence even after Kelly returned to the United States.
