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….
