by disseminating the works of the most innovative painters of the time: picasso, gauguin, matisse, cézanne,. Ambroise vollard was a visionary of modern art. This portrait of cézanne is one of the works at the origin of cubism because, from 1899, in the midst of art nouveau, he showed the way by breaking down the image into elementary geometric shapes to make it a whole. This is the reason why cézanne is unanimously considered the father of modern art. Notice of the work in the database of the collections of the museums of the city of paris
