Excerpt from Recollections of a Picture Dealer
My maternal grandfather was one of these. A native of Northern France, he had dreamed in his early youth of becoming a painter; but having no patrimony, he ended by seeking his fortune in La Réunion, where he married a girl whose parents came from Provence. I remember that among the papers he left, I discovered the draft of a letter addressed to a friend in France, in which he spoke of the divine Ingres. This epithet divine, attributed to the painter, made the greater impression on me as I had never before heard it a plied to a human being.

Excerpt from Recollections of a Picture Dealer
Surrounded as it was by foreign elements that had found their way little by little into the Island, the white population took the greatest care to maintain its racial integrity and traditions. The children were brought up with the strictest vigilance.
A friend of my aunt's went one day to the Vice principal Of the Lycée, to ask for leave Of absence for her son, so that he might go with her into the country next day.
All right, said the Vice-principal, but you will have to give him a note for his master, to say he has been ill.
What! Set my Edouard an example of false hood! She cried. Never! If it comes to that, he must go to school as usual.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of art dealing in late nineteenth-century Paris, a period that saw the rise of Impressionism and the birth of modern art. The author, a successful dealer himself, recounts his experiences with a captivating blend of personal anecdotes and insightful observations. From his early days in La RÃÂ union, a French island colony, to his arrival in the artistic hub of Montmartre, the author chronicles his encounters with a colorful cast of characters, including renowned artists like CÃÂ zanne, Renoir, Degas, and Van Gogh. The author's keen eye for emerging talent and his willingness to champion unconventional art forms make for an engaging narrative. We learn about the collectors, critics, and socialites who shaped the art scene, and the often surprising prices that these groundbreaking works commanded. The author's reflections on the struggles and triumphs of the Impressionists, and the shifting tides of taste and appreciation for their work, reveal a complex and dynamic artistic landscape. The book provides a unique and valuable record of this crucial period in art history, offering a deeper understanding of the forces that shaped the artistic sensibilities of the twentieth century.
