In 1917, the painter Albert André became
curator. At his instigation and thanks to the generosity of his painter friends,
Renoir, Monet, Signac, Marquet, Bonnard, Jean Puy, as well as Rouart, Vollard,
Durand-Ruel, Elie Faure, and Paul Clémenceau, the museum took on a
more defined character and began to concentrate on figurative, modern, and
contemporary painting.
In 1971, the donation of George and Adèle Besson completed the remarkable
collection of Impressionist and post-Impressionist paintings that had been assembled
by Albert André. The works of Matisse, Bonnard, Van Dongen, Berthe Morisot,
Maillol, Picasso, and Camille Claudel are the highlights of a collection lovingly
put together by a critic and enlightened art lover.
Today, the museum continues to become enriched by the tradition of friendship
begun by Albert André.
