Fondation Maeght is located just 30 minutes northwest of Nice in Saint Paul de Vence. The town is known for its cobblestone streets, art galleries, and boutiques. Not far from the centre of town is the most renowned modern art museum in the world. It was designed and built in 1964 by Aimé Maeght and his wife Marguerite Maeght, who were art dealers ...
When you enter the grounds, there is a large sculpture garden and chapel. You then enter the building that was designed by Spanish architect, Josep Lluís Sert. It is in a natural setting surrounded by gardens and pine trees on a hill overlooking Saint Paul de Vence. Light streams through many of the areas which house permanent and temporary exhibit...
At the entranceway to Fondation Maeght you’ll see a mosaic on the enclosing wall which was created by Pierre Tal-Coat. In front of it is Le Pepin géant-sculpture by Jean Arp. As you approach the main building, there are various murals and sculptures and a chapel with stained glass. Here are some of the highlights in this area:
It is because of my visit to Fondation Maeght that I have been a fan of the work of Catalonian artist Joan Miró (1893-1983) who spent a great deal of time in Paris. Whimsical, bright, colourful and happy. Those are the words that come to mind when I see Miró’s work. I have visited various Miró exhibitions in France- at the Musée Paul Valéry in Sete...
In different rooms, you will see Miró paintings and sculptures. Miró created two stained glass works of art and one is at the Fondation. This one, with deep blue, yellow and green colours (and accented with black and red) represent half women and half birds. The other stained glass is in Senlis, France.
The highlight of the Fondation is “Le Labyrinthe Miró”, a whole area on three terraces devoted to his sculptures and ceramics. When you leave the building, much of the area behind is devoted to Miró’s work.
This area in the back of the building has bronze sculptures by Swiss sculptor and painter, Alberto Giacometti: The Walking Man (L’Homme Qui Marche) and Standing Woman (Grande femme). After Giacometti’s death in 1966, many of his sculptures achieved artistic and financial success. Sculptures similar to the ones at Fondation Maeght sold for record pr...
There are two options you can take and both require that you have a car. The route from Nice to St. Paul de Vence is straightforward. You could take the autoroute (A8) westward and then the M336 and D436 roads heading north all the way. It will take you about 25 minutes. Another way is to go through Cagnes-sur-Mer. Château Grimaldi is in the mediev...
I highly recommend this Airbnb apartment that I rented in Old Nice. It was modern, spacious, and very clean and comfortable. It was just across the pathway (no roads in this part of Old Nice) to an excellent restaurant called “Comptoir du Marche”. The Airbnb owner was a Superhost and responded quickly to questions.Apartment at the gates of Old Nice...
