Picasso in Provence
Š Camille MOIRENC / hemis.fr
The encounter between Picasso and the South East of France appears to have inspired him in his personal life and creativity. With a Mediterranean soul it seemed likely that he would find in the Provence region a place of expression and inspiration. It also reminds him of Spain his native country, it symbolises his friendship with Cocteau, his admiration for CĂŠzanne, his curiosity for all art forms, beyond painting : ceramic, scenography, photography, sculpture. Picasso tried his hand at everything. From hispanic Camargue to the Riviera and also the Alpilles and Vaucluse, the artist was insatiable and followed his quest and meetings and left his mark in the region. An opportunity to rediscover a genius of the form and the eye, through a variation of places and portraits.
