Aimé Maeght (French pronunciation: [ɛme maɡ]; 27 April 1906 – 5 September 1981) was a French art dealer, collector, lithographer, and publisher. He founded the Galerie Maeght in Paris and Barcelona, and the Fondation Maeght in Saint-Paul-de-Vence near Nice (southern France). Though the original Flemish pronunciation is pronounced "[maːxt]", the French pronunciation of surname Maeght sounds more similar to mahg.
