Réalités

Réalités was a French illustrated monthly magazine published from 1946 to 1979. Known for its sophisticated and international perspective, it covered a wide range of subjects, including art, culture, politics, travel, fashion, and lifestyle. The magazine was notable for its high-quality photography, in-depth reporting, and stylish design.

Founded by Jean Prouvost, Réalités sought to present a balanced and insightful view of the post-war world. It featured contributions from prominent writers, photographers, and artists, both French and international. Its content often explored complex social and political issues, while also showcasing the beauty and diversity of global cultures.

The magazine's distinctive style and editorial approach made it a significant influence on magazine publishing, particularly in Europe and North America. Although its publication ceased in 1979, Réalités remains a highly regarded example of quality journalism and visually compelling storytelling from the mid-20th century. It is often studied for its innovative design and its reflection of the cultural and intellectual currents of its time.
