The summer show at the Musée Regards de Provence in Marseille is dedicated to two local painters, Antoine Ponchin (1872-1933) and Jos-Henri Ponchin (1897-1981), father and son in a family of 4 generations of artists.
I have written a book, ‘Art in the South of France’, to celebrate the work of some of these little-known Provencal painters and would have loved to be at the opening this week; since I couldn’t be there, let’s take a virtual tour. By the way, if you are new to these parts, make a trip to this gallery a priority as it’s special; interesting art, great building conversion, rooftop cafe overlooking docks and Mediterranean….

ABSOLUTLY lovely and thank you again for giving us the opportunity to see this splendid exhibition. I just looked in your book and found the artists. As always your investigation and eye for the artist have been successful.
This exhibit sounds lovely. Thanks for sharing.
I finally got to see this exhibit today and am just smitten with the work of Antoine Ponchin. He captures the light and colors of Provence brilliantly. Thank you for the tip! Btw, I found the Musée Regards de Provence website impossible to buy a ticket but the Aix tourist office can sell you a combo ticket with Mucem.
