Description

The Annonciade, Saint-Tropez’s museum of modern art, founded in 1922, serves as a reminder that the town was one of the most vibrant centers of the pictorial avant-garde in the early 20th century, thanks to Paul Signac, who arrived there in 1892 aboard his yacht, L’Olympia.
Seduced by the area, Signac bought a house and turned it into his studio, La Hune, where he invited numerous painters: Cross, Matisse, Derain and Marquet. The collections on display, spanning the period from 1890 to 1950, are surprising in both their quality and their homogeneity. All the artists exhibited based their work on a reflection on color, while remaining faithful to figuration. The ensemble is made up of first-rate paintings, mainly from the Pointillist, Nabi and Fauve movements.
