After developing the artist’s website www.lagandara.fr, Xavier Mathieu began working on the painter’s biography in 2011. Our colleague, whom we greatly commend for this magnificent work, still needed to compile the CATALOGUE RAISONNÉ of his ancestor, whom the artistic, political, literary, and social elite of his time in Paris had nicknamed the “gentleman-painter.”

The 752 works in the Catalogue are documented using a cross-referencing system that links the exhibitions where the artist’s works were presented, identified public sales, and art critics’ texts to each work’s record.

330 pages, 900 photos for this beautiful work, prefaced by our other colleague Jean-David Jumeau-Lafond, which can be ordered directly from the author for 170 € including shipping by email lesamisdelagandara@gmail.com
