Ambroise Vollard (1866–1939) was a pioneering French art dealer, collector, publisher, and writer, widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the promotion of modern art during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Vollard played a crucial role in shaping the careers of many now-renowned artists. He is credited with discovering and promoting figures such as Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso, Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse, Georges Rouault, and Vincent van Gogh. His gallery on Rue Laffitte in Paris became a hub for avant-garde art exhibitions, hosting groundbreaking shows such as Cézanne's first major exhibition in 1895, Picasso's first solo exhibition in 1901, and Matisse's exhibition in 1904. In addition to his work as a dealer, Vollard was an avid publisher of illustrated books and print series. He collaborated with artists such as Pierre Bonnard and Marc Chagall to produce works like Les Fleurs du mal and Fables de La Fontaine. Vollard also commissioned Picasso to create the celebrated "Vollard Suite," a set of 100 etchings.

    . Première édition. Un des 625 exemplaires (ici 289), sur vergé de Rives. Avec le portrait de Vollard par Raoul Dufy, signé dans la plaque de cuivre, en frontispice et avec un second portrait de Vollard par Auguste Renoir reproduit plus loin dans le texte. Un catalogue raissonnee complet des "éditions Vollard" superbement éditées jusqu'à l'année 1930, y compris les œuvres illustrées publiées par Vollard. Couvertures originales en papier crème. Celles-ci sont un peu froissées sur les bords et il y a un petit trou / déchirure avec une légère perte, sur le bord arrière. Dans l'ensemble, l'ouvrage est en très bon état. L'intérieur est en bon état, propre et bien rangé. Ambroise Vollard (1866-1939) était un marchand d'art, collectionneur, éditeur et écrivain français pionnier, largement considéré comme l'une des figures les plus influentes dans la promotion de l'art moderne à la fin du XIXe siècle et au début du XXe siècle. Vollard a joué un rôle crucial dans l'orientation de la carrière de nombreux artistes aujourd'hui renommés. On lui attribue la découverte et la promotion de personnalités telles que Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso, Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse, Georges Rouault et Vincent van Gogh. Sa galerie de la rue Laffitte à Paris est devenue une plaque tournante pour les expositions d'art d'avant-garde, accueillant des expositions révolutionnaires telles que la première grande exposition de Cézanne en 1895, la première exposition personnelle de Picasso en 1901 et l'exposition de Matisse en 1904. En plus de son travail de marchand, Vollard était un éditeur passionné de livres illustrés et de séries d'estampes. Il collabore avec des artistes tels que Pierre Bonnard et Marc Chagall pour produire des œuvres comme Les Fleurs du mal et Fables de La Fontaine. Vollard a également commandé à Picasso la célèbre "Suite Vollard", un ensemble de 100 eaux-fortes. 72 pages. En grande partie non coupé. 29 cm x 23,5 cm. Conforme à WorldCat / OCLC : 31881929.
