RECOLLECTIONS OF A PICTURE DEALER

Here's a book for the Craven market -- the Meier-Graefe market -- for anyone interested, theoretically or practically or emotionally or intellectually or humanly -- in modern art. Vollard, famous French dealer to whom many of the moderns owe their initial success, tells the story of his life in art, and brings before us one after another of the men who have made history in modern art in the past fifty years. Anecdotal -- chatty -- amusing -- intensely human -- behind the scenes in the art world -- and grand reading.
