Art and Life on the Midi, Antibes, Picasso, de Stael, Matisse

"When a painter is obsessed by a view or an idea, no wind, no elements can stop him" - Gustave de Stael
Welcome to Episode #33
This little foray into the south of France was a delight to write up once the writing process began. I couldn’t hold back but take a deep dive into the French Riveria and its artistic legacy which indeed is quite vast. When I discovered a few years back that the Picasso Museum was on the train line somewhere between Nice and Marseille in France well it was a given. There is much to say that is undoubtable and there a number of directions one could go in. In truth Antibes, Juan Les Pins came on my radar over the past few years after reading about Pablo Picasso and Francoise Gilot.
Later I discovered the writings of Picasso’s biographer John Richardson and the film Surviving Picasso. This particular share is full of Art and Life, mine and theirs, and of course the joy of a family day free to travel in the delightful city of Antibes on the Cote D’Azur; something I would recommend to any one who loves a deep blue sky and a seascape that travel dreams are made of.
