Albert Wolff (journalist)

Wolff graduated from a trade school after teaching in Paris [citation needed].

He moved to Le Figaro where he became a leading art critic and was later promoted to editor of the newspaper.

Moreover he was intensively connected with contemporary French artists, a. o. the painters of the Barbizon School who he visited and interviewed frequently.

Wolff opposed Impressionism, although occasionally he praised individual works from this school.

He also published detailed observations of Paris in several books and wrote several novels and stage plays.
