Artifact 7

7. “This man is named Ambroise Vollard. He is an art collector and dealer I met during my travels through Europe. We formed a friendship and he commissioned me to draw and paint multiple scenes from the Old Testament.  I painted a lot of Jewish themed paintings such as‘Green violinist’ and ‘Dancing Mirjam', and I also drew a lot of inspiration from the Christian bible.  In addition to my many oil canvasses and gouaches, such as ‘White Crucifixion,’ I created many etchings of biblical scenes. Painting for Vollard was a pleasure and I would do it again.”
