"Amedeo Modigliani. A painter and his dealer"

The exhibition, at Orangerie Museumshows the strength of the relationship between Modigliani, a doomed artist, and his young dealer, Paul Guillaume. What would Modigliani's fate have been without this encounter?

• In 1915, Guillaume became Modigliani's dealer. He was only 23, Modigliani 31.
• Until Modigliani's death in 1920, their relationship was intense both artistically and amicably, and incredibly fruitful.
• Guillaume, a young dealer and exceptional collector of modern art, takes the drug- and alcohol-addicted artist under his wing.
• lI encouraged Modigliani to take up painting, whereas when they first met he was more interested in sculpture.
• He rented him a studio in Montmartre and made him known in artistic circles.
• He bought and sold her works, finally ensuring her a certain stability and material comfort.
• Thanks to his connections, notably with Dr. Albert C. Barnes, an American physician and wealthy collector, he brought it international renown.
