....legendary art dealer, patron, and publisher who put modern art on the map by launching the careers of some of its major figures... While it is true that he represented artists like Francisco Iturrino and Jacqueline Marval whose names are forgotten today, there are many others [he supported] including Pierre Bonnard, Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Pablo Picasso whose names are renowned today as pioneers of modernism.
It is not surprising then that Vollard was a subject as well as patron of modern art
Picasso said: "The most beautiful woman who ever lived never had her portrait painted, drawn or engraved any oftener than Vollard - by Cézanne, Renoir, Rouault, Bonnard... But my cubist portrait of him is the best one of all."
Both Picasso and Pierre Bonnard painted Vollard, with a cat.
