Editing Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler (section)

==At the end==
Kahnweiler was very prolific as an author, but never produced a full autobiography. There was, however, a series of interviews first aired on French television, then published and translated as a book under the title ''Mes galleries et mes peintres'' ("My galleries and my painters"). For his 80th birthday, a ''[[Festschrift]]'' was published with contributions by the world's leading philosophers, art historians, and artists, all of whom emphasized the vital importance of his unique contribution to art history – an importance still not yet fully appreciated, probably due to the fact that he has been viewed mostly as an art dealer and not as an [[art historian]]. This situation has been aggravated because some of his major works on [[aesthetics]] were either never translated into English or badly translated. The omission of key elements of a proper understanding of Cubism and focus on small and sensational elements of his complex relationship with Picasso has led to a flawed understanding of the ideas he put forward in these writings.{{Citation needed|date=October 2009}}

Although revered by artists for his business and aesthetic sense and respected by art dealers and art historians, the true impact of his life and work has yet to be recognized, despite a 1988 biography by [[Pierre Assouline]]. He died in 1979 in Paris, aged 94.
