The path of Fauvism

Our opinion

The light of Collioure is wonderful, especially at the beginning and at the end of the day. Matisse, Derain, Picasso, Chagall, Vlamynck, Braque put their easels there and brought out the colors of their canvases. A journey through the city punctuated by twenty reproductions of paintings. is offered to you. Guided tours are of course offered by the Tourist Office and it's a great way to discover the city. Note: The Collioure Museum of Modern Art, called the Peské Museum, has few canvases and little means to organize its temporary exhibitions. The main Museum of Modern Art in the Region is located in the peaceful town of Céret (45 minutes from the hotel) where many artists also stayed at the start of the 20th century.

Details of the activity

Who are Henri Matisse and André Derain? What is Fauvism? What is the link with Collioure? The path of Fauvism is a cultural experience in which you will live in the summer of 1905 and the luminous history of the birth of Fauvism in Collioure. An exciting exploration in an open-air museum that will allow you to understand how under this midday light, these painters made their colors sing to create works of striking colors, today known around the world. The path of Fauvism is also the discovery of this village which "from one of the most important fishing port of Roussillon" became during the 20th century, "The City of painters".
