Extended for several months as it was so popular with the public, “Jean Hugo, the magical gaze – His life in Lunel from 1920 to 1984” is still visible until this Saturday, January 4 inclusive.
The final stretch, the last chance, the last time. In short, we’re not going to make you a drawing – even less a painting, we don’t have the talent – but if you want to admire the exhibition “Jean Hugo, the magical gaze” at the Louis-Médard museum in Lunel, c It’s now or never!
Inspired by this Lunel countryside that surrounds it
Already, given its enormous success, the City and the cultural structure team have extended it for several months (it was supposed to end in September) just for your eyes.
The very people who have until this Saturday, January 4 inclusive to open up about the life and works of the artist who died in 1984 in his farmhouse in Fourques that he loved so much, located on the outskirts of Lunel. Four decades of absence of the great-grandson of Victor Hugo whom the employees of the Médard museum wanted to bring into the presence of the visitor to celebrate the painter, decorator, illustrator and French writer that he was.
This unwavering link with the territory
It is here his Lunel period which is revealed in the different rooms and levels. Jean Hugo spent most of his time there from 1920 until his death. He likes to walk every day in the surrounding countryside, on paths that have been mapped out or that he imagines, with a notebook in his hand.
When he is not scribbling it with his various and varied sketches, it is in his workshop in the Mas de Fourques – where the family lent all the furniture and objects for a reconstruction on the first floor of the museum – that Jean Hugo leaves to allow his imagination and talent to operate.
Landscapes, scenes of Camargue tradition, distant view of the Pescalune city… so many works which prove the unwavering link between man and the territory. A production as dense as it is varied, available in painting, sculpture, writing, engraving… What more can I say? You’re in luck: you only have one day left to go discover it!
