Lot 380 PROPERTY FROM THE DURAND-RUEL COLLECTION
The present group of six works from the collection of Durand-Ruel, a pioneer amongst art dealers and an unfailing support to the Impressionist movement, is a tribute to the close working relationship between artist and dealer. Durand-Ruel developed an interest in Loiseau as early as 1897, and organised his first exhibition of importance in 1904. Resisting the influence of Gauguin, unlike many of his contemporaries, Loiseau remained faithful to the Impressionist principles throughout his life. His style is nevertheless rich and varied, in terms of subject matter as well as in style, as demonstrated by the six works presented here, all acquired directly from the artist by Durand-Ruel, a number in partnership with another leading Paris gallery of the time, Galerie Georges Petit.
