Minotaure is a surrealist-inspired magazine that was published from 1933 to 1939 in Paris, under the joint leadership of editors Albert Skira, a Swiss art publisher, and Stratis Eleftheriadis, a French art critic and publisher of Greek origin, known as Teriade. In the tradition of Christian Zervos's Cahiers d'Art, this review was devoted to contemporary art and aimed to curate a careful aesthetic. The magazine offered a certain number of artists a platform, publishing theses and poetic works, as well as becoming a space for visibility, reproducing the works of then little-known painters or sculptors such as Alberto Giacometti, Hans Bellmer, Paul Delvaux, or Roberto Matta. The first issue appeared in 1933 with a cover by Pablo Picasso. Slowly the writing moved away from only art, opening up to articles on music and architecture, notably written by the artists themselves.
