Under the sun of Provence
From Mougins to Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, via Cannes, André Hambourg never stopped criss-crossing the south of France.
Although the painter first discovered Provence in 1929, it was only after the Second World War, when he was going through a difficult period both humanly and artistically, that he fully settled there.
Leaving the capital for the south of France, Hambourg rediscovered a light close to that which had seduced him in the Maghreb. Saint-Rémy-de-Provence and Mougins were his main destinations. In Saint-Rémy, the artist acquired the olive grove painted by Vincent Van Gogh, opposite Saint-Paul de Mausole, threatened by a housing project. Thirty years later, he built a house-studio from which he painted these same olive trees. His canvases, executed in all seasons and at all hours of the day, allow him to renew light and composition.
Curator: Juliette Gerfault, in charge of collections at the Musée des Franciscaines
