In recent months, the health situation having finally improved, we have finally been able to make some trips. Hoping that the situation will improve further this autumn and that in a few months we will be able to fully revive our passion!

FACE A FACE - MUSEE BONNARD - LE CANNET

June 6 to October 3, 2021 - « Face à face - L'autoportrait de Cézanne à Bonnard » 

The self-portrait. A subject that raises many questions. Is it a more personal and intimate work of introspection and self-knowledge? This exhibition is organized as part of the 10th anniversary of the Bonnard Museum. You will discover an exhibition on the theme of the self-portrait. A theme that played an essential role in modern painting. Each artist reveals a facet of their soul, their sensitivity, their aesthetic choices, their anger or their doubts. This exhibition reveals in a way, the great solitude of the artists facing his canvas.

During this exhibition, you will find 50 self-portraits of artists who have marked the history of art, including those of: Bonnard, Cézanne, Chagall, Maurice Denis, Henri Goetz, Matisse, Picasso, Balthus, Henri Manguin, Hélion Bernard Buffet, Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, Poliakoff, Roussel, Van Dongen, Vuillard, Tal Coat and many more. 50 self-portraits that answer the same question: “Who am I?” and “What guides me?”

The exhibition opens with a Cézanne Self-portrait of 1877 whose pictorial touch and the interplay of shadows and light confer power and volume to his features represented without concession. This representation already foreshadows his desire to revolutionize the image of the portrait and beyond, painting. After various approaches, the exhibition ends on the transfer operated by Bonnard, thanks to its deep link to Nature. Discover a unique, multi-faceted exhibition.


A. GIACOMETTI, RETROSPECTIVE - FORUM GRIMALDI - MONACO

This exhibition, "Alberto Giacometti, une rétrospective" (opened on 3 July), closed on 29 August. The Giacometti Foundation joined forces with the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco to present an exceptional retrospective of the work of the sculptor and painter Alberto Giacometti, certainly the most important of recent years.
This journey into the creation of Alberto Giacometti was made under the sign of wonder. Giacometti's, faced with the "marvellous" real, as he often said, who endeavoured to represent what he saw around him, without hierarchy: beloved intimates, objects from his studio, everyday things, landscapes from his Swiss childhood or the Parisian suburbs. The exhibition's scenography and the richness of the works presented in turn amazed the viewer, who was placed at the heart of the artist's intimacy. The course of the exhibition gave pride of place to all the periods and media - sculpture (plaster, bronze), painting, drawing and print - to which Giacometti resorted. It provided a complete overview of his work, from his youth to the surrealist period, from his return to figuration to his work from a model, and to the invention of the great post-war icons. Bringing together nearly 230 works accompanied by photographs, this exhibition, marked out by masterpieces, offered the visitor wonderful discoveries in 14 original sequences. In particular, the exhibition recreated the spirit of the studio by revealing the detours and questions that marked Alberto Giacometti's creative process. The themes favoured by the artist - the representation of the head, the face, the female body - stand out in particular, but we also discover his relationship with solitude, melancholy, and his relentless work with his models: his wife Annette, his brother Diego, his close friends. The visitor thus met another Giacometti, one who experimented with the limits of sculpture, and the formidable painter who also practised the genres of landscape and still life alongside portraiture.
A truly extraordinary exhibition that will remain in the most precious memories of those who had the chance to visit it!

LES GIACOMETTI - FONDATION MAEGHT - ST PAUL DE VENCE

From 3 July to 14 November 2021, "Les Giacometti: Une famille de créateurs".
We would like to inform you about the exhibition organised by the Maeght Foundation in St Paul de Vence: "Les Giacometti: Une famille de créateurs". 
The exhibition pays tribute to a family of artists. Its curator Peter Knapp proposes to discover the talent and originality of the Giacomettis: Alberto, known worldwide, his father Giovanni, his cousin Augusto, and his two brothers Diego and Bruno. Whether painters, sculptors or architects, they left their mark on 20th century art.
Reunited for the first time in France, the Giacomettis embody five artists with different but intertwined careers. This original exhibition allows us to discover from which cultural family Alberto Giacometti, the most famous among the general public, comes. It shows the place of this family in art as well as the links that these five members wove between them. The exhibition also evokes their intimate relationship with their native village, Stampa, in the Swiss canton of Graubünden, which has become an important place in the history of modern art.
With some thirty major sculptures and drawings from its collection, complemented by paintings, films, archival photographs and objects, the Maeght Foundation highlights the extraordinary and unique story of these five artists from the same family: Giovanni Giacometti, painter (1868-1933), his three sons, Alberto Giacometti, painter, draughtsman and sculptor (1901-1966); Diego Giacometti, sculptor and designer (1902-1985), Bruno Giacometti, architect (1907-2012) and finally their cousin Augusto Giacometti, painter (1877-1947).

B. TOGUO - CANNES & P. CAYOL - L'ISLE-SUR-LA-SORGUE

From 26 July to 3 November 2021, "Kingdow of Faith".
In his work, Barthélémy Toguo takes up the definition of the role of the artist evoked by Albert Camus in 1957 during his speech on the occasion of the Nobel Prize for Literature, a witness who gives a voice to people who are rarely listened to, transmitting a humanist vision of the world.
On this occasion, the Malmaison Art Centre presents 42 works by this humanist and eclectic artist; pastels, watercolours and installations will transport visitors into his committed and poetic universe. Each room at La Malmaison brings together works on a theme dear to this creator.
In perpetual rebellion against the dysfunction of the world, many of his pieces deal with migration and exile. Barthélémy Toguo remains deeply rooted in Cameroon, to which he returns very regularly. There, he created "Bandjoun Station", a foundation inaugurated in 2013, intended to host artists and researchers from all over the world in residence, in studio housing, to develop proposals in line with the local community.
The artist talks about it in these terms: "My idea with Bandjoun Station was to marry classical African art and contemporary world art, to exhibit these works in the same space, without ghettoisation or hierarchy of values. [This is how Bandjoun Station will become a crossroads, a real meeting place between classical and contemporary art. He is also developing agricultural projects in a spirit of sustainable and healthy development.
An exhibition not to be missed!

PIERRE CAYOL - CAMPREDON - ISLE-SUR-LA-SORGUE


From 16 September to 3 October 2021, "Le Chant du Monde".
The Salle de l'Atelier at the Campredon Art Centre in Isle-sur-la-Sorgues is hosting an exhibition by Pierre Cayol, the painter and engraver from Tavel. "Trace de poètes" is a dialogue between poetry, philosophy, music and plastic arts. The artist offers us to look at, and sometimes to discover, his engravings, his linocuts, his artist's books, his poem-posters, a set in close connection with his friends-brothers, the North American Indians. The works are accompanied by texts from the wonderful book "The Night Songs of the Navahos" translated by Frédéric Jacques Temple, a magnificent poet and friend of the recently deceased artist, and poems by contemporary Native Americans (Scott Momaday, Gérald Vizonor, Ofelia Zepeda, etc). Readings on the artist's books will be given by André Morel and Joseph Pacini.

Obviously, an exhibition that is good for the eyes and the soul!

A new website !

After working several months, we are happy to present you the new website. Very different in the structure from the last one (which was 15 years old), you will find again most of the sections you used to consult. Very contemporary, the conception corresponds to the new technologies. We hope you will be interested to visit the new sections, and specially, the very rich « Media Library » and a « Live contact » to provide a direct and personal service.
Furthermore, we wished you could create your online costumer space, easy to access each time you visit the site; so, you could save the access to the artworks you like and eventually order them.
Opening up the new site, Michelle Champetier wants to thank all the translators (Marie, Sara, Françoise, Gilbert and Caroline) who worked hard, so that you can access to a lot of pages (in particular biographies) and a considerable amount of information in English, Italian, Spanish, and German language.
Furthermore, because of its structure, you can access and consult the site on all types of digital medias: computer, tablets and cell phone.

Since few months, we created the possibility of proposing you a vision of the works in their details by a « hover over the image to zoom in » or by an « enlarge image » by a simple click.

Complete works books

Patrick, Michelle Champetier’s husband, up to now, already achieved three catalogues raisonnes (Complete works books ) :
1 . « L'oeuvre graphique de Pierre Cayol - 1959-2015 » is available for consultation on Internet : CR Pierre Cayol.
2 . « Roger Platiel, L'oeuvre graphique 1956-1978 », after numerous working months, is also available for consultation on Internet : www.rogerplatiel.com/. This catalogue raisonné, with 200 references, is published in a paper version. This original edition is of 210 copies (10 Deluxe copies + 200 copies). Do not hesitate to obtain the catalog by an order in our gallery.
3 . « Jim Monson, L'oeuvre graphique 1966-2016 » is available on Internet ; established in association with the artist, the catalog contains 178 références (etchings, lithographs and woodcuts). Bilingual (French-English), you can consult it, in english language, by clicking the following address:
http://www.jim-monson.com/Jim-Monson-catalogue-raisonne-complete-work-prints.html
Also, you can consult the new website of the artist:

Our first edition

Our first edition of prints was produced five years ago: two original engravings by Renaud Allirand. Each one was printed in 12 copies. These two beautiful etchiings, « Nuit d'été I » and  « Nuit d'été II » are put forward on our site.
 « Nuit d'été I » was awarded by the Price of the Curator of the exhibition at the Portland Print Fair in 2017.



In 2018, « Nuit d'été I » was also selected for the 4th edition of the « Triennale de gravure de L'Isle sur Tarn » (Museum Raymond Lafage)

Sections

Most of the sections which were on our website before are saved, but they have been thought again to give you a best way, easier and more effective to access.
Do not hesitate to visit:
* « Ladies of my street » (You can access from the section « Works and artists »). This section suggests to support, with your help, some old people.
* « Between us » gathers different items, in particular « The amazing story of M. Petitchamp », a comic strip !
* « Complete works » (You can access from the section « Services »). It presents, up to now, 577 references belonging to the gallery.
* And many other things !
We draw your attention to the section « See & discover » in « Media Library » ; this one should be considered a rich database for the artworks. It presents up to now more than 9529 references.

Errors or malfunctions

Our site is made of several ten of thousands pages! Despite our best and continuing attention and or our rechecking, you might find some errors, malfunctions and omissions on our new website.
We really appreciate receiving notification of it, so that this can be promptly remedied. Be sure that your comments are welcome as a friendly wave.
Thanks in advance!  
Michelle Champetier and her staff.
