Marianne (French pronunciation: [maʁjan]) was a weekly Paris-based French illustrated magazine that appeared in France, between 1932 and 1940. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

History

Marianne was founded on 26 October 1932 by Gaston Gallimard and edited under director Emmanuel Berl, ^{[4] [5]} until 1937. ^[6] It began being published under the umbrella corporation ZED, which had been established in 1928. ^[7] The magazine was sold in January 1937, ^[2] to Raymond Patenôtre and relaunched by André Cornu ^{[8] [9]} in 1938. ^[10] It described itself as the Grand hebdomadaire littéraire illustré ("Great illustrated literary weekly"). ^[2]

Marianne was said to be a 'Paris Liberal Weekly' publication, ^[11] and a "weekly of French interests and ideas." ^[12]

When it was relaunched in 1938, Patenôtre let it remain politically slightly left of centre. ^[13] Among the notable contributors was Léon Werth, who regularly contributed to the magazine. ^[14]

Marianne was noted also for its anti-Nazi illustrations between 1938 and 1940, ^{[13] [15] [16] [17]} including by Jacob Kjeldgaard, Danish journalist photographer. ^[18] Publication of Marianne was suspended by the Nazi-collaborating Vichy France regime ^{[19] [20] [21]} on 4 September 1940. ^[12] The Vichy France regime had already begun censoring ^[22] portions of it, at least from 14 August of that year. ^[23]
