EXHIBITION IN PROGRESS

#CUBISM IN DRÔME

from the 4th June to the 22nd September 2019

This exhibition tells the life of painters who have chosen to confront their theories with local landscapes.

Three protagonists : Albert Gleizes, André Lhote and Vanber, three different courses but the same taste for sharing an artistic vision.

This exhibition is focused on a new vision of these artists. Martial Duvert, curator, wants to trace these different artistic itineraries.

ANDRE LHOTE (1885 – 1962)

In 1926, he chose Mirmande, in parallel with his teaching in Paris. He wants an « academy in the fields » that he animates from summer season. He wrote « Small Routes for Artists » which encourages a large number of artists to settle in the region and emphasizes the beauty of the landscapes and the financial benefits that make life easier for young artists.

ALBERT GLEIZES (1881 – 1953)

He arrived in 1927, in an important house of sailors in Serrières, on the banks of the Rhône, and rented o residence, Moly-Sabata, in Sablons (Isère) : prestigious place, which is the starting point of a community of artists.

For Albert Gleizes, painting meets very specific rules. His publications on this subject are numerous, the most remarkable of which will be « Painting and its laws ».

Anne Dangar leaves Australia to join him, after reading his manifesto in favor of Cubism. She will be ‘the soul of Moly » until her death.

VANBER – ALBERT VOISIN (1905 – 1994)

He joined his two friends by bike, each summer, with his wife Madeleine Théry, they live in Charmes sur Rhône. Later he moved to Crest alone.

He does not form an academy of artists, but he has the will to make known the Parisian artistic life to the provincials and encourage the local artistic vocations. « Art et Jeunesse » takes off thanks to his friends (Alain Rais, Jacques Clerc…). Each year, they organize exhibitions that surprise by the quality of the guests. Picasso, Zao Wou-Ki, Robert and Sonia Delaunay are exposed in the middle of local artists like Jacques Pouchain, Alain Borne and many others.
