"The 20th century was not yet two years old when Berthe Weill inaugurated her first exhibition in December 1901 at 25 rue Victor-Massé, at the foot of Montmartre, a legendary location in the capital of the arts. She welcomed virtually all the great names that modern painting boasts today (...): listing them all would be a dictionary. Let us nevertheless mention: Braque, Chagall, Charmy, Derain, Van Dongen, Dufy, Dulac, Flandrin, Friesz, Gleizes, Gromaire, Kisling, Laprade, Laurencin, Léger, Lhote, Lurçat, Marcoussis, Marquet, Marval, Matisse, Max Jacob, Metzinger, Modigliani, Ortiz de Zarate, Pascin, Picasso, Puy, Redon, Renoir, Rivera, Rouault, Henri Rousseau, Utrillo, Utter, Valadon, Vallotton, Villon, Vlaminck, Zadkine. Never republished since." 1933, the picturesque and abundant memoirs of Berthe Weill, friend of the "young painters" and the avant-garde, are an essential source of information on artistic life in Paris at the beginning of the century. This edition has been enriched with a list of the gallery's exhibitions as well as an index of proper names."
