This exhibition is co-produced by the GrandPalaisRmn, the National Museums of the XXth century in the Alpes-Maritimes and the Museo d'Arte della Città di Ravenna (Italy).
Chagall. The Venice years. A Mediterranean renaissance
Outdoor exhibition : Musée de Vence – fondation Emile Hugues, 2, place du Frêne - 06140 Vence
The Musée national Marc Chagall is joining forces with the Musée de Vence - Fondation Emile Hugues to honor the artist by exhibiting his works from the Vence period, produced between 1949 and 1966, the period during which the artist lived in Vence.
Chagall's move to the Midi had a decisive influence on his painting. The light, the vegetation and the rhythm of life all contributed to giving him a freer, more sensual style, in which the magic of color was increasingly present. The Vence period was conducive to technical experimentation: ceramics, sculpture, stained glass, mosaics, tapestry... The exhibition brings together works from an exceptional loan from the Musée national Marc Chagall in Nice, complemented by works from the Musée national d'Art Moderne in Paris and private collections.
