These expositions will each be open at a certain time of the year, but for the most part, they will all be going on at the same time this summer.

1. Picasso and the Spanish Masters – Carrières de Lumières, Baux-de-Provence

Picasso and the Spanish Masters feature paintings from Goya, Zuloaga, Rustinol, Sorolla, and, of course, Pablo. There are two parts to this exposition that will take its visitors on a metaphorical journey. The first part viewers will experience are paintings depicting day-to-day life. These were painted by Goya, Zuloaga, Rustinol, and Sorolla. The second part presents paintings all created by Pablo. Some of these paintings include Guernica (1937) and The Joy of Life (1946). The incredible details of his work will jump out to its visitors, especially with the digital assistance of AMIEX technology. People will be able to walk throughout the area as the paintings of these masters are projected onto the white limestone walls of the Carrieres de Lumières, an old quarry in Provence. The combination of music, video and light will make of this exhibition an unforgettable moment.

2. Hot Sun, Late Sun – Foundation Vincent Van Gogh, Arles

Presented by the Foundation of Vincent Van Gogh Arles also in Provence, Hot Sun, Late Sun not only headlines the paintings from Pablo and Van Gogh, but also from Joan Mitchell, Etel Adnan, and Sun Ra, just to name a few. These artists and their paintings together are a representation of the line of inspiration that leads all the way from Adolphe Monticelli to Vincent Van Gogh. Many of the paintings themselves have a deeper meaning and connection in relation to the sun. The phrase “Hot Sun” from the title is about how modernism was at its fiery peak. Some of the paintings that were created around this time are depicted here. “Late Sun” refers to the works done by Pablo in his final years. In addition to modernism is the beginning of postmodernism. Modern Art (1968) by Sigmar Polke will be seen at this exhibition.
