Gustave Coquiot (24 September 1865 – 6 June 1926) was a French art critic and writer. A collector of paintings by Maurice Utrillo, he also was one of Auguste Rodin's secretaries.
Career
At least two albums of photos of French locations painted by Vincent van Gogh were taken by Coquiot in the early 1920s. These areas were painted by van Gogh over 30 years before. Many of these locations were destroyed during World War II. Other locations, like the Arles hospital, were repurposed on the 1980s.[1]
One of the first biographies about van Gogh was written by Coquiot in 1923.[1]
Pablo Picasso painted a portrait of Conquiot with scantily dressed dancers behind him in 1901.[1][2]
Personal life
Conquiot married Mauricia, a circus performer and feminist.[1]
