Collection of the couple Tachia and Charles Rozoff, Paris Tachia Rozoff, born Tachia Quintanar in Spain in 1929, arrived in Paris in 1953 to escape Franco's regime. A poet and actress, in 1956 she had an intense love affair with Gabriel Garcia Marquez (1927-2014), appearing in several of the Colombian novelist's works. Strengthened by her humanist convictions and her living passion for poetry, Tachia, with the help of her husband Charles, a Russian-born engineer-adventurer, turned her house into a formidable home for artistic expression, welcoming painters, writers and musicians, whether Spanish or South American fleeing dictatorial regimes, or exiles from Eastern Europe, North Africa or even China. Their collection reflects their commitment, eclecticism and universality, and testifies to the essential role played by Paris in the post-war decades as a haven for international creativity.
