Gustave Geffroy

Biography

French journalist, writer, historian, art critic and one of the founding members of Académie Goncourt.

Geffroy was one of the first historians of the impressionist movement. Gustave met the painter Claude Monet coincidentally while he was doing research on the prisons of Napoléon III. It was the start of a friendship and his work as a biographer of painters.

While contributing to the newspaper La Justice , he met its founder Georges Clemenceau, who would become another friend and who appointed him director of la Manufacture des Gobelins, a post he held till he died.

(the painting is from Cézanne 1895)
