Here’s an unmissable show for all lovers of Provencal art – the Musée Regards de Provence is celebrating the 25 years of its foundation with « La Collection – ses 25 ans »
It brings together 40 works, painted locally, during the 19th and 20th centuries.
These were created in Marseille, along the coast (Martigues to Agay) and inland in the Provencal countryside.
Styles vary from landscape artists to coloristes, impressionnists, fauves et expressionnists. But all are intent on capturing the beauty of this beguiling region. Here are some of them…
Paul GUIGOU (1833-1871), Paysans devant la Sainte Victoire, 1867, Huile sur toile 55 x 80 cm
Emile Othon FRIESZ (1879-1949), La calanque des Figuerolles à La Ciotat, 1907, Huile sur toile 75 x 100 cm, @Adagp, Paris 2023
René SEYSSAUD (1867-1952), Etang de Berre, 1916, Huile sur toile 60 x 130 cm
André LHOTE (1885-1962), Paysage fauve à l’Estaque, 1909, Huile sur toile 80 x 64 cm, @Adagp, Paris 2023
Just 36 more to go!
The Musée Regards de Provence is wonderfully situated across from MuCEM with great views of the ferries setting off for Algeria: make sure you have time for a coffee or meal in the roof-top café and restaurant. Details: https://www.museeregardsdeprovence.com/en/
