Exposition de Jacques Cordier – De Trouville à Saint-Tropez : héritage et contraste

From October 19, 2024, to January 5, 2025, come and admire the new exhibition at the Villa Montebello Museum!

Jacques Cordier, born in Montmartre in 1937, was deeply inspired by his birthplace. Very early on, he chose to devote himself to an artistic career. Although he had taken some drawing lessons, he approached painting as a self-taught artist. His first works focused on architectural views, but his style gradually evolved towards a more atmospheric sensibility.

In 1966, Cordier moved to Saint-Tropez, where he was strongly influenced by the bright, intense light of the region. In the early 1970s, a trip to London and his encounter with Turner?s work marked a turning point in his career, leading him to explore watercolors with a more vaporous accent.

The exhibition "Jacques Cordier - From Trouville to Saint-Tropez: heritage and contrast" retraces Jacques Cordier's artistic career, from his beginnings in Montmartre to his works influenced by the light of Saint-Tropez and the steamy atmospheres inspired by Turner. A unique opportunity to discover the evolution and contrasts of his work.

Don?t hesitate to visit this exhibition and plunge into the rich and contrasting world of Jacques Cordier!
