- Anne Sinclair, née Anne-Élise Schwartz, was born in New York City, the daughter of Joseph-Robert Schwartz and Micheline Rosenberg, French Jews who later changed their name to Sinclair. Her maternal grandfather Paul Rosenberg, one of the great art dealers of the first half of the 20th century, had fled with his family from the Nazi occupation of France in World War II. A few years after her birth, the family returned to France. Anne attended the Cours Hattemer, and the prestigious Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris (Sciences Po), and studied law at the University of Paris. She became a radio host with Europe 1, and in 1984 began hosting 7/7, a weekly Sunday evening news and political show on the television network TF1. She became one of the country's best known journalists over the course of the show's 13-year run. For this work, she ;won three Sept d'Or, the French equivalent of the U.S. Emmy Awards. In 1997, she left the show to avoid conflict of interest when her then-husband, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, became French finance minister. In 2003, she launched a cultural program called Libre Cours (Free Rein) on France Inter, the French public radio station. She also wrote bestselling books including Caméra Subjective (2003) and Deux ou trois choses que je sais d'eux (1997), and began writing an international blog. In 2012, she published her first book about her grandfather, 21 rue de La Boétie (the site of his gallery). In 1997, Anne Sinclair filed suit in U.S. District Court for the recovery of the Matisse painting "Odalisque," the first lawsuit against an American museum over ownership of art looted by the Nazis during World War II.

The narration jumped around - maybe a reflection of the author's journalistic experience.
Considering the title purports to be about her grandfather's (Paul Rosenberg's) gallery in Paris, illustrations of the pictures he worked with are restricted to distance shots or coincidental to something else in the chosen photo. Since Paul Rosenberg gave away many pictures to public institutions, surely they would have given permission for the author to reproduce one or two for the book so that we got a better idea of what he was dealing with or why he thought that this artist or that picture was so great and worth selling.
She spends a whole chapter on the relationship between Picasso and her grandfather, but it was actually his relationship with Henri Matisse and Georges Braque which seemed a lot more interesting and which could have been explored further.
So many of the impressionist painters are mentioned in passing, many several times. Quite strikingly (and because he is one of my favourite painters) Seurat is only mentioned once. Did Rosenberg not like him and his style?
There is no index and so it is difficult to go back and find what you are looking for or to re-read except by flicking through. For example I wanted to find the first mention of NMR (National Museums Recovery) but it eluded me - was it defined at all?
I have no doubt after reading this book that Paul Rosenberg was an important figure in the art world. This memoir doesn't do him justice and really only touches the surface of the life of this man.… (mais)
