Wilhelm Uhde (1874-1947), born in Brandenburg, moved to Paris in 1904, and quickly became involved with the avant-garde.

As an enemy alien his collection was confiscated by the French state and later sold. He organized the first exhibition of nai ve art in 1928, and his involvement with one of the artists was the theme of the 2008 film Se raphine. In hiding for much of the war, he died in Paris shortly after.
