Paul-César Helleu is a collective work
carried out under the direction of
Frédérique de Watrigant, President
of Les Amis de Paul-César Helleu
(The Friends of Paul-César Helleu).
A virtuoso of drawing and a master of drypoint, PaulCésar Helleu was also an exceptional painter whose
work was very much part of the Impressionist
movement. Although today he is little known to the
public at large, during his lifetime he was quite famous
on both sides of the Atlantic. In 1928, Jacques-Émile
Blanche wrote of him: “He was the most talented of
all. Manet, Monet, Renoir were all convinced of this,
just like we were.” And yet his name appears virtually
nowhere in the history of Impressionist painting.
Thanks to testimony left by his daughter and research
that has been carried out over the past fifteen years,
we have been able to follow in the footsteps of this
atypical painter and piece together the great majority
of his large body of work. This abundantly illustrated
book, which will be followed by a catalogue raisonné
currently in preparation, takes us on a journey into
Helleu’s world, at the height of a period populated by
characters dear to Marcel Proust.
