- Renoir's house
La Ferme des Collettes, Auguste Renoir, 1915. His home. - Tête de Faune Chevelu
A hairy faun head in Picasso's museum in Antibes. This is IMHO one of the best paintings there. - Nature morte a la sole et aux trois oursins
Most of the drawings/paintings in the Picasso Museum are like this. Maybe I don't get art, but I have dozens of very similar drawings from my kids. - La Joie de Vivre
This is (apparently) a parody of Matisse's work with the same name. I, however, have troubles seeing the resemblance... - Promenade in Théoule-sur-Mer
- Jellyfish in Biot
Jellyfish made of glass in Biot - Glasswork in Biot
One of the many glassworks/galleries in Biot. - Street art in Biot
- La Légende des siècles
I wonder what is behind these doors... Maybe just a huge Hugo fan? Place des Arcades in Biot. - Local art in Antibes
Some tiles on an old building in Antibes. Rue du Haut Castelet. - Les Arlequins by Chagall
Marc Chagall, Les Arlequins (1922-1944), detail. I kind of like the detached leg. - Le Cirque Bleu by Chagall
Marc Chagall, Le Cirque Bleu (1950-1952), detail. Moon playing a violin, but of course. - La Création de l'homme by Chagall
Marc Chagall, The Creation of Man (1956-1958). - Le Paradis by Chagall
Marc Chagall, Le Paradis (1961). Eve's creation on the left and the Temptation on the right. - Adam et Ève Chassés du Paradis by Chagall
Marc Chagall, Adam and Eve Expelled from Paradise (1961). Self-portrait in the top right corner. Animals look away but the mother with the child "confirms this rather optimistic vision of the Sin". - La Rose Bleue by Chagall
Marc Chagall, La Rose Bleue (1964). - Paysage Méditerranéen by Chagall
Detail of the Paysage Méditerranéen tapestry (1971). A superb depiction of La promenade des Anglais. And a superb tapestry. - Paysage Méditerranéen by Chagall
A tapestry by Chagall (1971). He claimed he was born for the second time once he moved to Côte d'Azur (Vence). The left sun is above St. Paul de Vence and the right sun above Nice. - Blue!
The Creation of the World, stained glass window. By Chagall, of course. Not many artists get to co-create their own galleries. - La Création de l'homme by Chagall
Marc Chagall, The Creation of Man (1956-1958), detail. And just like that, there's someone hanging upside-down on a pole, while God is creating Adam. - Le Paradis by Chagall
Marc Chagall, Le Paradis (1961), detail. The Temptation of Adam and Eve. This is just beautiful. - Adam et Ève Chassés du Paradis by Chagall
Marc Chagall, Adam and Eve Expelled from Paradise (1961), detail. My favourite part of the painting. - Paysage Méditerranéen by Chagall
Detail of the Paysage Méditerranéen tapestry (1971). And again - a comforting mother with child in the bottom right corner. - Le Nomade
I love the Nomade. The first time I saw him, I found the statue too static for a nomade. But now I can understand him. And I love him. - Le Nomade
So many so different pictures one can take with the Nomade. - Mouans-Sartoux
The French. They can even make an ordinary town hall pretty.
