About Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler
Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler was a German-born art collector, and one of the most notable French art dealers of the 20th century. He became prominent as an art gallery owner in Paris beginning in 1907 and was among the first champions of Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and the Cubist movement in art. At this time, Kahnweiler discovered Impressionist painting and in particular Cézanne, whom he valued as the beginner of a new style of painting. Through contact with his great-uncle, Joseph Goldscheider, he was introduced to music and painting, encouraging him to visit European museums, where he discovered Boucher, Chardin, Rembrandt and Cranach.
