I read every letter Claude Monet wrote to his art dealer, Paul Durand-Ruel.
I was amazed to discover that without this incredibly talented salesman, determined visionary, heart-pounding risk-taker, and trusted friend, there might not be a Claude Monet as we know it.
How Paul Durand-Ruel saved Claude Monet and the Impressionism painters of Europe in the 1880s.
"Without Durand, we would have died of starvation, all of us the impressionists. We owe him everything,’
‘He persisted, persevered, he risked bankruptcy twenty times over to support us. The critics dragged us through the mud; but for him it was even worse! They used to write: these people are mad, but there is someone madder than them, the dealer who buys their work!" - Claude Monet
