Celebrity, art merchant, socialite, publisher and writer, Ambroise Vollard was one of the most extraordinary figures in 20th century art. He possessed an uncanny ability to recognise genius in painters - dozens of important artists received valuable commissions and gallery space with his help, and his galleries presented the first one-man shows for such luminaries as Matisse, Cezanne and Picasso. Vollard's warmth, candor and intelligence earned him the friendship of a generation of artists and make this memoir an enthralling and often hilarious account of an exciting Golden Age of painting.
