ALBERT ANDRÉ was a major French Post-Impressionist painter who became a protégé and close friend of Renoir. In 1894, André exhibited five paintings at the avant-garde Salon des Indépendants, where he caught the attention of Renoir. Following Renoir’s death, André authored a biography of the artist considered by many contemporaries as the most accurate account of the artist’s work; and in 1921, André organized a retrospective of his mentor’s work at the Durand-Ruel Gallery in Paris.
