Collectors played an essential yet misunderstood role in the
success of Impressionism. Even though they were not immune to
economic and social woes, they were often engaged in defending this
artistic movement that they had helped come to life, establish
itself or make known, each according to their times. It is this
group of committed collectors that the present work seeks to
examine. From assembling a collection to donating it to a museum,
from supporting artists within the borders of France to publicising
the movement internationally, from the first intimate private
showings to the questions raised by the presentation of these works
in museums, collectors were present at every stage of the
development of Impressionism, from the dawn of the movement to the
middle of the 20th century. This volume aims to re-examine and
reassess the importance of these collectors in the political,
social and economic contexts of their times through the
contributions of 16 international specialists. Depeaux, De Nittis,
the Palmers, O'Hara, Buhrle, Caillebotte, Fayet: whether they are
the subjects of dedicated case studies or part of a broader
discourse, the multiplicity of profiles of these collectors and the
paths they followed will allow readers to gain a better
understanding of their importance in the history of the
Impressionist movement.
