Ambroise Vollard

1866–1939 (age 73)

Biography

Ambroise Vollard (1866–1939) was a pioneering art dealer and publisher who championed the work of modern masters such as Cézanne, Picasso, and Gauguin at a time when their vision was still uncelebrated. His gallery served as a crucible for modernism, and his discerning eye helped bring bold new artistry into public awareness.

Vollard’s legacy lives on through the artists he supported and the publications he produced, and at the Cimetière parisien de Bagneux his memory invites reflection on the transformative power of patronage and friendship in the arts.
