Read the full account

By 1872 Durand-Ruel was stocking Monet as a living dealer market.

Context

A dealer can keep a painter eating and can lock pictures in stock. Split 1874 public hanging.

Claude Monet’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below.

From the early 1870s Paul Durand-Ruel bought and stocked Monet as a living market. Monet painted; the dealer made a concentrated inventory. Shared rents, not a unique theft.

Why it matters

A living dealer inventory concentrating cultural rents is an inequality path.

A stock book is not the 1918 Orangerie gift.
