Cezanne to Picasso
Ambroise Vollard, Patron of the Avant-garde

Ambroise Vollard (1867-1939) played a key role in the transformation of the art world in the late nineteenth century. A pioneering Parisian dealer, Vollard introduced many of the era's leading artists to the public. This illustrated catalogue presents 130 important paintings, sculpture, and works on paper that he promoted, exhibited, and sold.

This important volume features twenty-two essays that examine Vollard's career and expertise in the art market, his relationships with individual artists and collectors, and a wealth of previously unpublished material from the newly available archive of Vollard's documents and from the archives of the artists he represented.
