Musée Jean-Honoré Fragonard
The Museum of Provençal Costumes and Jewellery, housed in a private mansion in Grasse, showcases a fine collection of antique Provençal clothing and jewellery. A few meters away along the same street, the Jean-Honoré Fragonard Museum offers visitors access to a unique range of works by three local painters: Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Marguerite Gérard and Jean-Baptiste Mallet.

Programme
Cédric Teisseire - Retour en Grasse
Created in 2022 by collector Gilles Fuchs, the Centre d’art des collines de Grasse invites Cédric Teisseire for a monographic exhibition presented at the Musée Jean-Honoré Fragonard. A native of Grasse, Teisseire teaches at the Toulon School of Art and co-founded La Station in Nice in 1996. His practice focuses on painting and its materiality, privileging processes of fabrication over the final image.
Conceived as a “hike,” the exhibition echoes his close relationship with the landscapes of the Alpes-Maritimes. Recent series explore the tension between abstraction and representation through experimental techniques: ink poured onto tarpaulin, burned canvas, stretched pixels, layers of lacquer dripped onto stacked screens, or inverted frames. Joined by Suska Bastian, Arnaud Biais, David Raffini and Christian Vialard, the artist extends this sensitive wandering, where landscape becomes a pictorial experience and a transformation of reality.
