Paul Durand-Ruel redefined the role of art dealer. He was an exceptional entrepreneur and pioneer on the international scene, establishing a network of galleries in Paris, London, Brussels and New York, and organizing exhibitions around the world. Convinced by the talent of the artists of the Barbizon school and the Impressionists, and confident in his role as defender of their art, Paul Durand-Ruel was able to impose the works of Auguste Renoir, Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt... These memoirs are the unique testimony of a man who played an essential role in one of the most important moments in French art. They retrace the artistic life and the art market of the 19th century, but also the conviction of Paul Durand-Ruel, friend and supporter of the artists, to impose Impressionism.
