“In the case of artists, of all media, Paris was for anger, searching, being young and wild, inventing the new, while the Riviera was for the mature artist, who in the main had found their language or their project and wanted to devote their time in peace and quiet, surrounded by beauty, living out the marvellous challenges ahead.”
Bernard Jacobson Gallery presents Côte D'Azur. Coinciding with the Royal Academy’s Painting the French Riviera, the exhibition celebrates the region as a source of inspiration, experimentation and artistic exchange for many of the greatest artists from the past two centuries.
