And<br />b. even if he did, who eventually created the concept of a castle-cum-museum?<br /><br />You don't have to love all the Picasso art objects, as you say. But the architecture is very special!Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-13280463953474321882014-04-04T18:31:47.859+11:002014-04-04T18:31:47.859+11:00Hels, reading your post has me yearning to return ...Hels, reading your post has me yearning to return to the South of France. The light! No wonder the painters loved it. Last time I was staying just out of Cannes I did the trip to the Picasso Museum in Antibes - closed on my previous trip. Loved the ceramics, but was a little disappointed in the rest. The building was something else again, I was totally distracted by it.

But mostly I think we cannot understand an artist, writer or musician from his cultural output alone. <br /><br />We need to know about his living conditions, family life, income stream, mental and physical health, support received (or otherwise) from the cultural Establishment etc.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-77742181339167236822014-02-18T07:30:59.973+11:002014-02-18T07:30:59.973+11:00Loved this post Hels; especially because I've ...Loved this post Hels; especially because I've recently put the last touches to a tour I am organizing in that area in June. Myself and two other teachers will be taking a group of 12 students to the area for five days. we'll fly into Nice, rent a small coach and driver, spend two nights in Aix exploring Cezanne and Van Gogh in Arles. Then we spend two nights in Nice from where we'll visit the Picasso Museum, the Bonnard Museum and the Renoir Museum. Our final day will be in Nice exploring the Matisse trail and Museum. I'm looking forward to it and I'll have to share your blog with the students.P. M.

They all made the French Riviera their home... producing some of the master works which changed the face of art as we know it. Presenter Kate Comer seeks out the favoured haunts of these great artists, taking in the sun and peerless blue skies, the rugged mountains and sublime coastline that attracted these iconoclasts to the Riviera, along the way."<br /><br />http://www.pilotguides.com/tv-shows/globe-trekker/series-16/globe-trekker-special-art-trails-of-the-riviera/<br />Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-9727041062097285082014-02-15T20:57:39.426+11:002014-02-15T20:57:39.426+11:00Get the best painter Brisbane to convert your home...Get the best painter Brisbane to convert your home into a dream place.<br />Allan Zadehhttp://www.painting-perfection.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-80943699567310877052014-02-15T18:18:02.972+11:002014-02-15T18:18:02.972+11:00Have a look at the Globe Trekker Special: Art Trai...Have a look at the Globe Trekker Special: Art Trails of the Riviera.

Artists who went to Spain, the south of France, Italy and North Africa had a much healthier, happier lifestyle.

In some ways, these sun-drenched areas inspired French artists similar to the way majestic scenery inspired the Hudson River painters. <br /><br /> Parnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.com
