Melbourne: Text Publishing, 2014. 1st translated ed.. Paperback octavo, very good condition, black & white & sepia (brown-tinted) & few colour photos centre spread, bottom corner tip front cover creased, pages lightly toned, minor edgewear. 224 pp. Anne Sinclair relates the story of her grandfather, Paul Rosenberg. In September 1940, the famous European art dealer disembarked in New York, one of many Jewish refugees fleeing Vichy France. He left behind his beloved Paris gallery: he saved his family, but his paintings - masterpieces by Cezanne, Monet, Sisley and others - were seized by the Nazis and the art dealer's own legacy was obliterated. More than 50 years later, the author found a box of letters and she discovered who her mother's father really was. Drawing on his intimate correspondence with Picasso, Matisse, Braque and others, she traces the life of a legendary member of the Parisian art scene. The author both reframes 20th century art history and reclaims family history.…
