| description | Rewald discusses his student days in Germany, his growing interest in art, and his first meeting with Alfred H. Barr, Jr. in Paris before World War II. He recounts his journey to the U.S. during the war, and his first employment at The Museum of Modern Art as a proofreader. He discusses subsequent work with Barr on the latter's seminal book, Matisse: His Art and His Public (c. 1951) as well as the publication of his own pioneering books The History of Impressionism (c. 1946) and Post-Impressionism from van Gogh to Gauguin (1956) that he wrote for the Museum. Rewald remembers his 1948 Pierre Bonnard exhibition at the Museum [MoMA Exh. #376, 1948 May 10-September 6], and the 1952 Fauves show [Les Fauves, MoMA Exh. #521, 1952 October 7-1953 January 4]. He highlights his relationships with Barr and William Rubin, and his own part in the acquisition and disposition of the Gertrude Stein Collection.
