Description:
"Memoirs of a Picture Dealer" by Ambroise Vollard is a passionate, yet graceful and imaginative document of the heroic years of European painting, from the great Impressionists to the most outstanding painters of the 20th century. And Vollard himself is an immensely interesting and distinctive figure. He began his career as a art dealer as a poor, art-loving student, only to rise several decades later to become one of the dictators of the painting market, to become a publisher, an inspirer, and finally the author of several interesting works on painting, most notably monographs on Cezanne, Renoir and Degas.
It also includes an index of more important names and titles.
The cover was designed by Zofia Darowska.
