Modern Art in Southern France
Filed in archive Modern World by Greg Cruey on June 30, 2009
Fodor's had a piece the other day on The French Riviera's Modern Art Road.
20th-century art is one of the main reasons to come to the French Riviera and Provence. It was here that Picasso, Renoir, Matisse, Dufy, Chagall, Cocteau, Léger, Soutine, Signac, Giacometti, Gauguin, and Van Gogh all altered the course of art history.
The Fodor's article includes a map of ten different art destinations in Southern France. They include:

  • Mougins, where Picasso spent the last 12 years of his life

  • Biot, where Ferdnand Léger planned to create a monumental sculpture garden

  • Cagnes-sur-Mer, the Villa "Les Collettes," the last home of Auguste Renoir

  • Nice, with its gaggle of museums

There are others. See the article. See the art...
