Picasso - Famous painters France

Famous painters in Languedoc Roussillon

Famous 20th-century painters and periods have left their mark on Roussillon, in South of France...

Cubism in Céret, Fauvism in Collioure, Surrealism in Perpignan, and so on.

Picasso, Miró, Matisse, Derain and Chagall have captured the unique light of the Côte Vermeille.

On the seaside in Herault, Palavas will forever remain the homeland of Albert Dubout, Sète lives to the rhythm of Combas and Di Rosa, and Montpellier remembers Frédéric Bazille, an Impressionist painter famous beyond France’s borders. At Banyuls-sur-mer, you can visit the small farm where the sculptor Maillol lived and worked.

Museums, sites and exhibitions throughout Languedoc Roussillon — the Carré d’Art in Nîmes, Fabre Museum in Montpellier, Fleury Museum in Lodève, Fine Arts Museum in Carcassonne and Modern Art Museum in Céret, to mention just a few — recall the lives and legacies of these great artists...
