Félix Fénéon. The modern times, from Seurat to Matisse – Exhibition at the Orangerie Museum (Part 1)

Félix Fénéon (1861-1944) was a civil servant with anarchist convictions. He was well-connected with key figures of the artistic world as an art critic and editor for the publication at the Revue Blanche.
