Endowed with the same professional rigor, they never ceased to show their loyalty and their demands towards the artists represented by the gallery: Pablo Picasso, Fernand Léger, Joan Miró, Juan Gris, André Masson, André Beaudin…\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA native of the Belfort region, Maurice Jardot wished to donate 110 works from his personal collection (Braque, Léger, Picasso, Laurens, etc.) to the Belfort Museum in 1997, a donation supplemented by a legacy of 25 works in 2002. He also bequeathed his personal library to the Museum of Modern Art of Lille Métropole. The prestigious collection of works donated to the Urban Community of Lille by Geneviève and Jean Masurel being closely linked to the choices of Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, Maurice Jardot naturally turned to the Museum of Modern Art to offer this important selection of seven hundred works, some of which are made up of precious books such as The Unknown Masterpiece by Balzac illustrated by Picasso, Parallel by Verlaine illustrated by Pierre Bonnard, and The Idylls of Theocritus illustrated by Henri Laurens.
