À propos de l?auteur

Wilhelm Uhde (1874-1947), born in Brandenburg, moved to Paris in 1904, and quickly became involved with the avant-garde. He opened a gallery in 1908, where he showed Picasso, Braque, Delaunay and others, and wrote the first book on Rousseau in 1911. As an enemy alien his collection was confiscated by the French state and later sold. He organized the first exhibition of naive art in 1928, and his involvement with one of the artists was the theme of the 2008 film Seraphine. In hiding for much of the war, he died in Paris shortly after.
