PROPERTY FROM THE DURAND-RUEL COLLECTIONThe present group of four 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 organized 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 four works presented here, all acquired directly from the artist by Durand-Ruel.
