Livraison Rapide et Gratuite Description Produit 21 rue de La BoĂ©tie A singular man in the history of modern art, betrayed by Vichy, is the subject of this riveting family memoir On September , one of the most famous European art dealers disembarked in New York, one of hundreds of Jewish refugees fleeing Vichy France. Leaving behind his beloved Paris gallery, Paul Rosenberg had managed to save his family, but his paintingsâmodern masterpieces by CĂ©zanne, Monet, Sisley, and othersâwere not so fortunate. As he fled, dozens of works were seized by Nazi forces and the art dealerâs own legacy was eradicated. More than half a century later, Anne Sinclair uncovered a box filled with letters. âCurious in spite of myself,â she writes, âI plunged into these archives, in search of the story of my family. To find out who my motherâs father really was... a man hailed as a pioneer in the world of modern art, who then became a pariah in his own country during the Second World War. I was overcome with a desire to fit together the pieces of this French story of art and war.â Drawing on her grandfatherâs intimate correspondence with Picasso, Matisse, Braque, and others, Sinclair takes us on a personal journey through the life of a legendary member of the Parisian art scene in My Grandfatherâs Gallery. Rosenbergâs story is emblematic of millions of Jews, rich and poor, whose lives were indelibly altered by World War II. Sinclairâs journey to reclaim her family history paints a picture of modern art on both sides of the Atlantic between the s and s that reframes twentieth-century art history.
