Ernest Brummer (1891-1964) was a renowned art dealer who, along with his brother Joseph, founded the historically significant Brummer Galleries, which held a paramount importance in both New York and Paris during the early to mid-20th century. The galleries played a role in shaping the tastes and collections of art enthusiasts and museums alike, introducing European art to American audiences and vice versa.
