Vladimir Visson (1905-1976) was for 32 years was director of exhibitions for the Wildenstein Galleries in New York. The exhibitions he organized at Wildenstein's, especially those of the Impressionist and Post Impressionist painter, rivaled those of the major museums, and many of the catalogues he produced for them have become permanent works of reference. Mr. Visson was a familiar and much beloved figure in the New York art world during his long tenure at Wildenstein's--an ebullient storyteller with an inexhaustible supply of anecdotes about collectors, critics and museum curators. His task of organizing the big loan shows of French masters that for many years have been a regular feature of the fall and spring art seasons in New York kept him in close touch with the country's leading private collectors and museum directors, and he had many amusing stories to tell about them. Hilton Kramer, art critic of The New York Times, said of Mr. Visson: "To walk through a big exhibition with Mr. Visson was always a memorable experience. He had a keen appreciation of the beauty of the paintings, and a great sense of comedy about the world in which they changed hands." Mr. Visson was born in Kiev, from which he emigrated to France in 1919. There he served in the French Army in 1939. He came to the United States in 1941 and spent virtually his entire professional life at Wildenstein's. Lynn Visson was a writer, interpreter and academic who holds a Ph.D. from Harvard University, Lynn Visson is an American of Russian background who was herself married to a Russian. Since 1980 she has been a staff interpreter at the United Nations. She has edited and translated several books and has written numerous books and articles on Russian language, literature and culture, including a Russian and Uzbek cookbook, and a work on simultaneous interpretation from Russian into English. Several of her works have been published in Russia. Dr. Visson travels frequently to Russia and has been involved in numerous exchange projects. Above all, she is interested in cross-cultural relations and in the problem of Russians and Americans who are trying to live in, understand and "translate" each other's cultures. She appears to be from context to be Vladimir Visson's daughter.
