If you are interested in art then Provence is the place for you this summer. There's a major Picasso and Cezanne exhibition in Aix and to celebrate Blue Sky Living published a feature article on the contemporary art scenc. Click on the 2009 magazine image to the right to read the article.
If you can't make the Aix exhibition, and want to dip into the contemporary art scene instead then the Daniel Adel gallery in Lacoste is hosting an exhibition of English artist David Welsh's paintings between the 23rd and 30th July.
David says: ‘France combines all that I am trying to say. It’s not what other artists saw or felt, it is how I perceive a beautiful country, rich in colour and tradition, a nation that enjoys a culture of poetic language. I want you to enjoy this France as much as I do painting it’
just read your magazine article on painting provence....i live in so. calif.....was in aix last september....sure wish i could have read the article before i left....i especially like the fact that the article recognizes that local artists are credible artists.....cezanne was not a celebrity in his time....just an artist doing his work....i live near laguna beach....a haven for local artists.......i truly appreciate being able to read an article like this about provence....as i left a bit of my heart in aix....watching the TOUR as i write......
