A propos de cet article

Foreword by Pari Stave The French Riviera has been a fabled resort formore than a century. As an enclave for the rich and famous, as well as a scenictourist spot, it represents all that is beautiful and amusing. But for many of thetwentieth century's finest painters, sculptors, photographers, and architects it hasbeen much more: a place of potent myth and extraordinary creativity. Picasso, Matisse, Beckmann, Brancusi, Lartigue, Le Corbusier, and Eileen Gray, among manyothers, were inspired to create some of their greatest work on the Cote d'Azur.Thisstudy examines the impact of modernity and the artistic imagination on an idylliclandscape. Touching on the issues of pleasure and escape, work and leisure, anddesire and ecstasy, Making Paradise offers a fresh look at the Cote d'Azur and itshistorical significance as a site for modernist innovation from 1890 to the present.Beginning with the neoimpressionists, moving to the Fauves, and ending with suchcontemporary artists as David Hockney and Faith Ringgold, the book examines thesplendid light and terrain of the southeastern coast of France and the region'sinfluence on the artists who worked and played there. Like the book, the exhibitionit accompanies features unexpected juxtapostitions: masterworks by Bonnard andPicasso with the photographs of Lartigue and Model; the villas of Le Corbusier, Gray, and Mallet-Stevens with designs for the Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo; andceramics of Picasso with the found-object constructions of the Ecole de Nice of theearly 1960s.Copublished with the AXA Gallery, New York.Exhibition information: AXAGalleryNew York, New YorkApril 26-July 14, 2001 The French Riviera as Eden and muse for modern artists.
