Durand

Ruel
(1831-1922) is widely credited as the dealer who "made" the professional careers of Renoir, Degas, Manet, Monet, Sisley, Pissarro, Puvis de Chavannes, and other painters of fin-de-siècle Paris. Driven by the conviction that the work of the Impressionists was an artistic revelation, he led the fight against critical opinion and brought these artists to the public. His event-filled
life
is the subject of this absorbing biography.
Durand-Ruel risked
his name, his fortune, and his family's future to become the outspoken champion of
Impressionism
, an art form that in France provoked only insults. By 1900 his gallery dominated the international
mark
et for Impressionism, and he had inspired a new generation of collectors, from merchant princes of Moscow to steel barons of Pittsburgh. This volume, deftly crafted from unpublished documents and letters, and illustrated with 40 black-and-white images, is an important addition to our understanding of Impressionism and collecting, as well as a dazzling tour of French and American art and cultural politics in the years before World War I. AUTHOR BIO: Pierre Assouline is one of France's leading historians and biographers. His many
books include
An Artful Life: A Biography of D. H. Kahnweiler.
