"Make Way for the Young!" But who is Berthe Weill? For forty years, from 1901 to 1941, this determined woman tirelessly showcased the works of young artists in her Parisian gallery at the start of their careers. A pioneer in many respects, she sold the first paintings by Picasso and Matisse, organized the only exhibition of Amedeo Modigliani during his lifetime, supported emerging movements like Fauvism and Cubism, and promoted the talents of many female artists such as Suzanne Valadon and Émilie Charmy. Yet, she remained on the fringes of art history, overshadowed by her male counterparts like Vollard, Rosenberg, and Kahnweiler. This book aims to address this injustice by delving into the saga of this extraordinary gallerist who had a true passion for art and never stopped championing "young painting" despite obstacles. "Official painting sells much better; so why persist in focusing on the 'Young'? Well! No! Even if I had to eat bricks, I won't do something that displeases me! That's that!" Berthe Weill, Pan! dans l'oeil..., 1933
