Description
Discover the group exhibition "Sur l'eau", presented at Chapelle Saint-Jean from June 4 to 15, where several artists explore this theme through a variety of viewpoints and sensibilities.
Opening Friday June 5, 7pm.
"Sur l'eau" (1888) recounts a cruise by Guy de Maupassant along the Côte d'Azur, aboard his sailboat Bel-Ami. It's not just a travelogue, a description of landscapes captured in their authenticity of yesteryear or a painting of maritime life, it's also a confession. Maupassant speaks to us of literary life, his intimate torments, society, women and politics, as much as of the sea and the wind.
For the exhibition, artists from different horizons and using different techniques offer us a compilation of works linked to the sea: on the water, under the water, under the sun.
