Throughout the entire year, the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region plans to tell the story of Pablo Picasso’s life through exceptional exhibitions that will be organized in the places the artist lived and loved. PICASSO, 1945-1949: L’ERE Du REnOuvEAu—MARCH 28-JunE 28, 2009 The Musée Picasso in Antibes, on the French Riviera, is hosting a major exhibition. The lavish renaissance symbolized by this post-war period is recounted through two hundred works (paintings, drawings, and ceramics), some of which are from the period Picasso spent at Château Grimaldi, previously owned by the princes of Monaco and now the site of the Musée Picasso. This exhibition evokes the artistic effervescence and happiness bound with France’s Liberation—a hymn to joy and creation. CHATEAu DE vAuvEnARGuES OPEn TO THE PuBLIC MAy 25-SEPTEMBER 27, 2009 With its extraordinary permanent collection—De Cézanne à Giacometti—, the Musée Granet is located in the famous Roman city Aix-en-Provence. Dedicated to Europe’s twentieth-century masters, the collection will give you a chance to immerse yourself in contemporary art and portrays the constellations of artists and influences that linked the Spanish master to his contemporaries. Similarly, in 2009, the Picasso-Cézanne exhibition (close on the heels of the incredibly successful Cézanne en Provence exhibition) underlines the deep friendship between Picasso and Paul Cézanne, an artist originally from the “town of water” and the man behind the uberfamous Montagne Sainte- Victoire.Picasso collected works by this master who inspired him so much so that, in 1958, he purchased Château de vauvenargues at the foot of the mountain Sainte-victoire, an iconic site near and dear to Cézanne. A simple stroll through Provence makes it abundantly clear that Picasso’s work is passionately linked to symbolic places that he cultivated and researched like an alchemist. Amidst the impressive greenery, in the heart of the rocky landscape characteristic of Les Baux- de-Provence, Château de vauvenargues marks, like a fortress, the entrance to the valley and keeps a watchful eye over the noble soul of the greatest master of contemporary art. www.franceguide.com L’homme à la pipe, Picasso Pablo © The Samuel Courtauld Trust, London ADvERTISEMEnT PICASSO EvEnTS AnD ITInERARy By ESTELLE ARIELLE BOuCHET © Henry Ely Château de vauvenargues CATHEDRALE D’IMAGES, OPEn EvERy DAy FROM FEBRuARy 25, 2009 TO JAnuARy 3, 2010 In 1959, Picasso made a cameo appearance in the Testament of Orpheus, which was filmed here; now, half a century later, the Cathédrale d’Images is paying homage to Picasso. The show is the perfect ending to the artist’s story. These visits will not only enchant you but will also have you returning home with a deeper appreciation of Provence’s beauty and these masterpieces. ARLES AnD PICASSO The Sainte-victoire area harbors all the symbolism of Picasso’s love for the place. Actually, his birthplace, Málaga, has been honoring notre Dame de la victoire every September 8 for centuries. Spain is omnipresent in this part of Provence; Picasso was especially fond of Arles, the most Roman of French cities, and could often be spotted at las corridas (bullfights). Musée Réattu houses two paintings and fifty-seven drawings that were donated by the artist in 1971. His Hispanic roots became very evident in the final period of his life; he even chose this part of Provence, so reminiscent of his native Andalusia, to be his final resting place.
