When you choose to pack your bags for a long weekend in winter in a city like Marseille, you benefit from the mild climate, the sunshine and very beautiful exhibitions to discover the city thanks to artists. The Belle Vue hotel recommends two exhibitions for this winter: Fragments at the Municipal Archives and Arts and Modernity at the Regards de Provence Museum.
Fragments in the Archives
The fragmentation of the image is at the heart of the artist's work.
The latter studies lines, colors, light, contrast... So many elements which allow him to compose his work, because they play a role on volume, shapes and plans.
These elements contribute to the fact that we like or not an image, that we manage to project ourselves with it, without sometimes knowing anything about its context.
It is this aspect of artistic work that the Fragments exhibition strives to show through perceived reality and the artistic and intellectual construction of Jean-Paul Courchia and Carole Stern.
Paintings painted from archive photographs, or conversely archive photographs chosen from the paintings: the works invite the viewer to fragment their gaze, to break down the plans and structures, in order to better understand.
An additional opportunity to be moved by artistic force.
Arts and Modernity at the Regards de Provence Museum
David Dellepiane, Provençal painter, poster artist, lithographer, portraitist, illustrator and decorator, born in 1866 and died in 1932, is in the spotlight at Regards de Provence Museum which adjoins the MUCEM.
He offers his unique perspective on Marseille and Provence and offers an approach that mixes tradition and experimentation. He manages to maintain consistency and sensitivity.
In total, you will appreciate his work through the presentation of around a hundred paintings, watercolors, projects and posters.
And you will be truly lucky, because most of the works come from private collections and have therefore never been disclosed to the general public.
