Marius Breuil Pas à pas Exposition 5 juin - 31 décembre 2022 Marius Breuil (Avignon, 1850 – Paradou (Alpilles), 1832) + than 200 Paintings and Drawings This exhibition is developed around the studio collection of Marius Breuil. This artist from Avignon, who was curious about current artistic events, refused to participate in the official world of Fine Arts. A friend of Pierre Grivolas and Paul Saïn, he rejected the idea of belonging to a group and only exhibited his works once, in 1888. Marius Breuil thus asserts his freedom and independence. His numerous small oil sketches show "sumptuous materials". His energetic touch expresses the mineral, austere and solar character of the Mediterranean nature around Avignon and in the Alpilles. No anecdote disturbs the feeling of oblivion and solitude that emanates from his compositions, arid plateaus punctuated by gnarled trees and limestone rocks.
