Ambroise Vollard (French pronunciation:[ɑ̃bʁwazvɔlaʁ]; 3 July – 21 July ) was a French art dealer who is regarded as one of the most important dealers in French contemporary art at the beginning of the twentieth century.
He is credited with being a major supporter and champion of the contemporary artists of his period, providing exposure and emotional support to numerous then-unknown artists, including Paul Cézanne,[1]Aristide Maillol, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Louis Valtat, Pablo Picasso,[1]André Derain, Georges Rouault, Paul Gauguin, and Vincent van Gogh.[2]
He was also an avid art collector and publisher, especially of print series by leading artists.
