Picasso Spanish
Cubist Painter and Sculptor, 1881-1973. We all know
that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realise
the truth, at least the truth that is given to us to
understand. - Pablo Picasso
The
works are steeped in the anguish and pain of a man overcome
by the solitude which would finally kill him. These
paintings and drawings were created only a few dozen
yards from the place in which they are exhibited today.
The sea, the gulls, and the boats are the objects that
the artist, in his ceaseless quest, took as representations
of his anguish or hopes.

Chagall {shah-gahl'} (also known as: Mark Zakharovich
Shagal), b. July 7, 1887 (or 1889?), d. Mar. 28, 1985,
created a genre virtually his own with his lively, large-scale
renderings of Russian village life, as filtered through
the prism of Yiddish folklore, and his illustrations
of folk tales and Bible stories. Chagall's Jewish heritage
and his reliance on the culture of the shtetl (East
European Jewish village) for his inspiration and subject
matter provide a link between two otherwise separate
careers. He was trained in Saint Petersburg and at an
early age came under the lasting influence of Leon Bakst
and the Russian ballet. Chagall's highly imaginative
and very personal style took shape after he moved (1910)
to Paris, where he became associated with the celebrated
school of Paris.

in its eighteen rooms on two floors, some shaded and intimate,
other high ceilinged and ablazed with the Mediterranean
light that so enraptured Matisse, the permanent collection
is a celebration of Matisse's life and work.
 The
permanent collection is made up oil paintings and paper
cut-outs, drawings, engravings, bronzes, illustrated
books, photographs as well as objects from Matisse's
personal collection which fed the emotion necessary
for his creation.
