George-Daniel de Monfreid (14 March 1856 – 26 November 1929), a French painter, sculptor, engraver and art collector.
Born in New York City, he spent his childhood in the south of France. Early he decided on a career in art, and enrolled at the Académie Julian, and formed friendships with Paul Gauguin, Verlaine and Aristide Maillol.
Initially his work was Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist, but his close association with Les Nabis group pushed his style in the direction of Gauguin.
He was an art collector and a patron of the arts. Along with Gustave Fayet, he was one of the first collectors of the works of Gauguin at the time he was exiled in the Pacific. He was one of the first biographers of Gauguin.
He was influenced by the cubism style of Pablo Picasso late in his career.
He died in Corneilla-de-Conflent in 1929.
Exhibits:
Café des Arts Volpini in Paris in 1889 with the Groupe Impressioniste et Synthétiste.
Exposition 1894-1908 : Le Roussillon à l'Origine de l'Art Moderne au Palais des Congrès à Perpignan.
In 2003, an exhibition devoted to Monfreid’s friendship with Gauguin, Georges-Daniel de Monfreid, le Confident de Gauguin, was held at the Musée des Beaux-Arts et de la Dentelle d’Alençon and the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire in Narbonne.
