Summer exhibitions in the South of France....

Let's take advantage of a well-deserved holiday in the South of France to rest but also to take in the culture that we have missed so much:

1. At the Maeght Foundation

In the Happy Funky Family, we are fans of all the lovely family stories, so when they involve talented artists, the pleasure is of course tenfold... The Maeght Foundation The Giacometti Family", an exhibition of five artists from the Giacometti family, is on view until 14 November: "The Giacomettis, a family of artists".

2. Les rencontres photographiques d'Arles

The photographic encounters are the perfect opportunity to walk around the city of Arles with the family while discovering talented photographers. The Luma Tower, a new cultural venue, has just opened its doors. It is not only a building designed by Frank Gehry but also a whole programme. Maja Hoffmann, a Swiss patron of the arts and collector, created the Luma Foundation in 2004 to support artistic and research projects. She sees Luma as a "biological archipelago" that brings together several entities with their own particularities. Maja Hoffmann is passionate about a wide range of issues: the environment, human rights, education and culture, all through the prism of art.

3. The Montmartre fin de siècle exhibition

The Toulouse-Lautrec Museum in Albi is hosting the incredible collection of Americans David Weisman and Jacqueline Michel from 19 May to 5 September 2021. This couple of collectors have brought together the most emblematic artists of Montmartre at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. A collection that captures the lively and bubbling spirit of the Butte, represented by avant-garde artists such as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Henri-Gabriel Ibels and Suzanne Valadon.

The Toulouse-Lautrec Museum in Albi, where the artist was born on 24 November 1864, is located in the former Palais de la Berbie. Classified as a historic monument, it is part of the town's episcopal complex, which is listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site.

Of course, we have a particular weakness for the portraits in these superb exhibitions:

  • photo portraits
  • painted portraits
  • carved portraits
  • self-portraits
