Jean Pozzi (1884-1967) : Ministre plénipotentiaire français et sa collection de peinture persane

Résumé

Jean Pozzi (1884-1967) : French Plenipotentiary Minister and his collection of Persian paintings Expert in Franco-Oriental relations and president of the Iran-France Chamber of Commerce, Jean Pozzi was mainly interested in the collection of Islamic and Iranian works of art. He built up his large collection during his long stays in the Middle East from 1907 in Turkey, passing through Tehran in 1934, and in Cairo between 1939 and 1942. Younger than the pioneer collectors of Iranian art such as Georges Marteau, Henri Vever and Louis Cartier, Jean Pozzi seems to profit from their dealer networks, especially in the first half of the 20th century. He published a catalog of some of his masterpieces in August 1928 by Edgar Blochet (1870-1937), among which there are pages of the same manuscripts scattered in other French private collections. Jean Pozzi continued to collect Islamic and Iranian works throughout his life, but we have no written records of his trading activities. By reviewing the works published in his catalog and those which were acquired in the second half of the 20th century, this article aims to better understand Pozzi’s acquisition policy, while sketching the centers of the market of the Iranian-Islamic art likely to serve him between two wars and afterward up to his death.
