Zervos began writing art articles for the magazine L'Art d'Aujourd 'Hui, later founding his own journal Cahiers d'Art in 1926. Cahiers featured contributions by scholars and critics alike in a wide range of fields, from prehistoric art to modern and was noted for its layout and presentation as much as its content. Zervos married Yvonne Marion [Zervos] (1905-70) who ran an art gallery next to her husband's shop. During this same time Christian Zervos issued an eclectic variety of monographs, including ones on Henri Rousseau, Greek Art and Frank Lloyd Wright before settling upon his life's work, a catalogue raisonné of Pablo Picasso. Begun in 1932, catalog was completed in 33 volumes after Zervos' death. World War II interrupted many of Zervos' publishing projects, including the Cahiers, which suspended 1941-43, resuming in 1944 to last until the end of his life. His wife's shop, moved to larger premises in 1939 and renamed the May Gallery, exhibited many of the major French artists active between the wars.
