Visit of the exhibition Promenade Provençale by Pierre Murat**, specialist of Joseph Garibaldi** Joseph Garibaldi (1863-1941) is a painter in love with the Mediterranean shores, starting with the port of Marseille where he was, during his life, the cantor. Small ports of the coast, Cassis and Les Lecques, but also Corsican beach and, later, coastline of Fos and peninsula of Giens, so many "marine lands" to which echo in its paintings streets and squares of villages of the Provençal hinterland. Attentive to the menu of the fishermen’s people and to the gestures of the washerwomen, as to the humble countenance of the beasts of burden, this man of generous and modest nature, disdaining honors, knew how to stay away from fleeting fashions. A smooth invoice and spreading waters, an impeccable blue in clear skies, a discreet geometry in his compositions, honesty in the rendering of the forms of the world, here is a classic painter in all the acceptance of the term, this is also the image of a peaceful noon and as attached to the stormy course of history. However original and modern, he is by his photographic framings, his taste for series, his shadows always cleverly colored and his predilection for vast spaces where sometimes heavy clouds of storms weigh. Pierre Murat, Associate of Letters and Art Historian, invites us to discover man and the artist through a large number of works gathered at the Sébastien Art Center for the exhibition Promenade Provençale.
