ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
My greatest debt is to Columbia Professor of Art History Meyer Schapiro, my mentor, teacher and inspiration, who in 1961 suggested a Renoir topic for my doctoral dissertation. With no Renoir letter anthology, he proposed I create an archive of copies of published and unpublished letters by, to and about Renoir, which now includes more than three thousand letters.
The Renoir family aided this letter quest: Renoir’s son Claude (Coco) and his son Paul (who allowed me to Xerox the family letter archive); Jean’s son, Alain; Claude junior’s daughter, Sophie (always generous and helpful); the foster family of Jeanne Tréhot Robinet; Edmond Renoir junior; Julie Manet Rouart; Gabrielle’s son; as well as numerous heirs of Renoir’s artist and patron friends.
Renoir’s dealers’ heirs provided copies of primary source materials: Charles Durand-Ruel, Flavie Durand-Ruel, Paul-Louis Durand-Ruel, Claire Durand-Ruel Snollaerts and Caroline Durand-Ruel Godfroy. Also, most
helpful were the Bernheim heirs: Guy-Patrice Dauberville and Michel Dauberville.
My thanks go to many public institutions with letters and photographs, especially Documentation Orsay and numerous archives in the USA, France, Brazil and Holland. Thanks also go to: Georges Alphandéry; Colin B. Bailey; Emily Beeny; Mathieu and Solange Bellanger; Roger Benjamin; Maurice Bérard; Jacqueline Besson; Elisa Bourdonnay; Richard Brettell; Norma Broudy; Augustin de Butler; Aline Cézanne; Philippe Cézanne; Marjorie Cézanne-Justet; M. and Mme Jacques Chardeau; Guy Cogeval; Anne Distel; Claudia Einecke; Alicia Faxon; Isabelle Gaëtan; Philippe Gangnat; Jean-Claude Gélineau; H.

At Tufts University, where I taught from 1965, I have had wonderful student assistants, fluent in French, who helped me with my Renoir letter archive and with my Renoir writings: Zoé E. Bolesta; Bethany Peacemaker-Arrand Bonudei; Erin M. Bruynell; Sarah Elizabeth Ferguson; Jennifer Fidlon-Bugat; Karen R. Gerlach; Julie Rachel Levy; Florence Merle-Strauss; Dalia Palchik; Ruby H. Salter; David Smythe; Anna R. Vanderspek; and Margaret Jane Wiryaman. For three years, Léa Cavat (who had her primary and secondary education in Paris) improved my translations. Tufts staff were helpful: Rosalie Bruno; Amey C. Callahan; Christine Cavalier; Kathleen DiPerna; Ann Marie Ferraro; Joanne M. Grande; and Amy West.
Two eminent professors, Columbia University’s Theodore Reff and University of Minnesota’s Gabriel P. Weisberg, have been of great support.
