Art dealer, gallery owner, biographer and friend of Picasso, Daniel‐Henry Kahnweiler (Mannheim, 1884 ‐ Paris, 1979) was a transcendental figure in the artistic career of Picasso, whom he met in 1907, a crucial year for both.
Kahnweiler became the pioneering dealer of Cubist artists such as Georges Braque and Juan Gris, and the most active figures in promoting and consolidating this avant‐garde movement. The exhibition goes chronologically through his three Parisian galleries (the “petite galerie”, the Simon gallery and the Louise Leiris gallery) with an exceptional selection of works of the artists he promoted and, in turn, highlights his work as an editor and book collector. The exhibition and the accompanying catalog will address the personality and activity of this exceptional "homme des arts" in all his facets, without forgetting his relationship with Catalan artists and his role in the creation of the Museu Picasso in Barcelona.
The exhibition is the result of the collaboration between the Museu Picasso Barcelona and the MnAM‐Centre Pompidou, which has made possible an exceptional loan of more than one hundred works from the Kahnweiler‐Leiris collection that the French institution guards.
