AUGUSTE ROURE
ROUTES I GARRIGUES I MÉDITERRANÉE
4 juillet - 31 décembre 2023
Désigné peintre des garrigues et des cailloux par ses contemporains, le paysagiste avignonnais Auguste Roure est réputé pour la fougue de sa matière « onctueuse, grasse, avec des souplesses infinies », et « son œuvre pleine, robuste, humaine, qui sait voir et sentir la vie qui l’entoure ». Ses motifs privilégiés sont les routes blanches, les garrigues autour d’Avignon, la lumière et les côtes méditerranéennes, de la presqu’île de Giens et de l’île de Porquerolles.
Apprécié des amateurs, Auguste Roure abandonne son métier de lithographe pour se consacrer pleinement à la peinture et enseigner à l’École municipale des Beaux-Arts à partir de 1919.

FACILITIES
"Should we eradicate ornament", as some moderns professed?
Students from the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Nîmes install their creations born of a project at the museum around the question of ornament among the collections of Decorative Arts of the 17th and 18th centuries.
From reflections on the notions of decoration, adornment and ornament, they establish astonishing games around objects, shapes, motifs, languages, techniques, materials, and more broadly what the museum and his garden inspired them.

We're leaving our reserve! Act 2
from 12/02 to 22/05
This is a new invitation to discover works from the reserves of the Vouland museum. Landscapes, genre scenes and portraits, linked to Provence and more particularly to Avignon and its School of Fine Arts, bring together artists from the 19th and 20th centuries.
Émile Loubon, Dominique Papety, Eugène Lagier, Pierre Grivolas, Charles Vionnet, Claude Firmin, Clément Brun, René Seyssaud, Eugène Martel, Alfred Lesbros, Louis-Agricol Montagné, Auguste Chabaud, François Omer, André Rodet, Jean-Claude Imbert, Marcel Dumont, Jean-Marie Fage, Michel Steiner
As an extension of the first act in 2021, paintings and drawings linked to the Provence-Languedoc region dialogue with the decorative arts collection of the Vouland museum. This exhibition recalls the dual vocation of the museum, the Decorative Arts of the 17th and 18th centuries, mainly Parisian, and the arts of the Provence and Languedoc region. It highlights landscapes of the Vaucluse, alongside portraits and scenes of daily life.
The “Provençal” collection has been enriched year after year since the opening of the museum in 1982. This year, an ink by Marcel Dumont has joined the collection, after three oils by Jean-Marie Fage last year.
The first room relates watercolor landscapes by Michel Steiner, the Rhône plain and cherry blossoms, with portraits of Clément Brun, Achille Moreau, full length, archetype of the ceremonial portrait of the end of the 19th century. century, and an old comtadine, humble and discreet. Then there are views of Avignon by Auguste Chabaud and Clément Brun, and the Pont d'Avignon in stencil by Alfred Lesbros. Further on, a monumental bouquet of Sunflowers by René Seyssaud seems to dialogue with an astonishing Peach tree by Alfred Lesbros. Then, we pass other ceremonial portraits in the cafes of Revest-du-Bion.
If these artists of the 19th and 20th centuries rub shoulders in the museum today, it should be remembered that most are linked to the creative center of the School of Fine Arts in Avignon, and that generation after generation, from Pierre Grivolas to Michel Steiner, many of the exhibited artists were trained there, taught there or directed it. We can also remember that at the beginning of the 1950s, the young Jean-Marie Fage frequented the old Auguste Chabaud, who had received the teaching of Pierre Grivolas.

Exhibition

PAINTS- DRAWINGS - COLLAGES - NOTEBOOKS - ARTIST BOOKS
This exhibition celebrates the centenary of the birth of the painter Marcel Dumont (1921-1998). Designed as a diptych, it unfolds in Avignon at the Vouland museum and in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence at the Alpilles museum.
From the Alpilles where he lived for nearly thirty years, Marcel Dumont "tracked the secret structure of the elements, stones and trees, veins and foliage, or else, patiently internalized landscapes, spaces in their purity of light. That is to say that , not stopping at the external aspect of things, he sought above all to capture the vital breaths that animate them, the internal thrusts with which they are inhabited."(Francois Cheng, 2001)
We leave our reserve
Temporary exhibition
from 18/06 to 26/09 2021
Émile Loubon, Dominique Papety, Pierre Grivolas, Charles Vionnet, Clément Brun, Eugène Martel, Louis-Agricol Montagné, François Omer, Jean-Claude Imbert, Jean-Marie Fage, Michel Steiner.
Paintings & drawings – Provence - 19th & 20th centuries
This summer, the museum is showing works from the 19th and 20th centuries from its reserves, which highlight the human figure. Portraits and genre scenes dialogue around three landscapes by Jean-Marie Fage which have just been added to the painting collection and a room devoted to the "albums" and paintings of Jean-Claude Imbert.
From the cafe in a village in Haute Provence to the interior of a silk mill in Vaucluse, from a view of Gordes to that of the interior of an Avignon farm, from a ceremonial portrait to a portrait more intimate, you will discover paintings and drawings related to Provence, and more particularly to Avignon and its surroundings.

Exhibition "Jean-Marie Fage, I paint what I see"
extended until June 6, 2021 and renamed "We haven't seen everything yet!"
“Painting can be a manifestation of the happiness of living by translating an act of love between the painter and the world of shapes and colors that surrounds him. In fact, I try to love more and to understand in my own way the part received from the dawn of time that poets help us to approach by showing what the first glance does not see. "
Jean-Marie Fage
From his childhood on the banks of the Sorgue to the Luberon, where he has lived for more than forty years, Jean-Marie Fage consistently builds a work that invites silent contemplation.
Born in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue in 1925, as a child, he lost an eye and nurtured an early sensitivity to the arts and poetry. As a young man, he met René Char, Auguste Chabaud and Georges Braque who confirmed his desire to become an artist. He moved to Paris in 1950, where alongside painting, he became an architect's collaborator, his second job for twenty-five years. In 1963, he returned to Vaucluse in search of light and "patterns". His research on space and color takes him from landscapes to workshops to contrasting compositions bordering on abstraction. In his last years, he returned to the outdoors and figuration by painting large compositions which took on a new dimension, symbolist.
The Vouland museum recycles, adapts and reinvents the Jean-Marie Fage exhibition, tracing the light open to the public only seven days before and nine after confinement at the Campredon art center in Isle-sur-la-Sorgue.

Geneviève Gleize, photographer
In addition to this, you will need to know more about it.
Geneviève Gleize surveys, examines and photographs abandoned places. Factory, prison, home, business, theater. His gaze modestly captures the depth of time contained in the places and their materials. His photographs reveal traces of the activity and the passage of
men, his attention to light and its framing, the plastic qualities of the stigmata of abandonment. With Last Act? , Geneviève Gleize wanders in 2016 in the "Gran Teatro Cervantes" in Tangier, which has been abandoned for forty years. In 2018, she participated in the exhibition Le Temps Suspended at the Vouland Museum alongside Jean-Marie Fage, and was to be present this year in the thematic exhibition Au fil des eaux postponed to 2021.
In 2019, Geneviève Gleize won the Photo Brussels Festival 2019 with Dead Grocery .
Raphaël Mognetti, sculptor
In addition to this, you will need to know more about it.
Raphaël Mognetti likes to bring metal, his favorite material, to life, playing with its technical constraints. His works, essentially figurative and graphic, are sometimes aerial and dreamlike, sometimes earthy and organic. His first sculptures were created in the former Aubanel printing press behind the Palais des Papes. In 1994, Raphaël Mognetti created his first works on an architectural and urban scale before leaving Avignon where he was born in 1972 for Braunschweig in Germany in 1996. He produced monumental sculptures, and joined the Center des Métiers du Métal in Hamburg where he stayed until 2000. After a detour through Croatia from 2002 to 2004, he returned to Provence, and set up his workshop near Avignon.
Sensitive to spatial and memory relationships, Raphaël Mognetti favors creations for places, events or people. He appreciates artistic encounters and collaborations with musicians, writers or visual artists. Poetry, and René Char, link the sculptor to the painter Jean-Marie Fage.
Raphaël Thierry, sculptor
In addition to this, you will need to know more about it.
Raphaël Thierry presents his protean work under several identities. Painter, sculptor, performer, he probes reality and its representation, sign and abstraction, the materialization of the path of thought. In 2005-2006, he gave up his career as a graphic designer to devote himself to his work as a plastic artist, resident of the Villa Medicis, Académie de France in
Rome. Since then, he exhibits regularly, realizes performances and films,
alone or with four hands in tandem © ®. Following a gas explosion that devastated his Parisian workshop rue de Trévise in early 2019, he concentrated his activity in his other workshop located near Avignon. Quo vadis was to be presented in the thematic exhibition Au fil des eaux postponed to 2021. This sculpture recalls Raphaël Thierry's familiarity with the Sorgue near which he grew up, like Jean-Marie Fage. You can also discover the adventures of Superdog, children's books, and charcoals of Medesima ombra with Federico Nicolao at the shop.

"I am what I paint"
The Vouland Museum reveals the unique and abundant work of the artist Jean-Claude Imbert (1919-1993) to celebrate the centenary of his birth.
This work combines carnal and spiritual, visible and invisible, light and shadow, Provence and storm, generosity and austerity.
Jean-Claude Imbert is a man in search of balance born under the sign of Libra, father of 8 children, prolific artist, charismatic teacher.
Over the days, he tirelessly plays with words, graphics, black, watercolor saturated in color. He models his oils in thick layers from which form and light emerge. What mysteries does this tormented matter contain?

(…) My collection has a certain value. If it lacks the artistic twist, at least it has the merit of accuracy. "
