This year, the museum celebrates the 100th anniversary of the exhibition organised by the Société des Beaux-Arts de Nice in 1925.
The reconstruction and study of this exhibition highlight the importance of the artist’s successive trips to the south of France (1906, 1913, and 1922) during his prolific creative decade in the 1920s. The encounter between Denis’s world and the French Riviera also provides an opportunity to take a broader look at this very special moment in his life as a man and an artist. After the death of his first wife in 1919, his marriage to Elisabeth Graterolle restored his creative vitality, enabling him to respond to the many requests that crowned his career.
The blues and pinks sparkling with winter light that flood his works from this period reflect the fulfillment of an artist who found new inspiration on the shores of the Mediterranean during the peaceful interwar period.
Exhibition on display from the 8th of November 2025, to the 10th of May 2026.
Starting at 14.30 pm
Duration : 30 min
