A Visit to Musée Yves Brayer in Les Baux de Provence

If you are planning a trip to Les Baux de Provence to enjoy the immersive art display of the works at Carrières de Lumieres, why not include a visit to the Yves Brayer museum in the village?

They have an exhibition of the works of Camille Claudel ( 8 December 1864 – 19 October 1943), a French sculptor known for her figurative works in bronze and marble. Hers is a sad story of a talented woman unable to flourish in the misogyny of late 19th-century society. Continue reading here for the original Aixcentric article with details on this artist who was an apprentice of Auguste Rodin in Paris.

Musée Yves Brayer

Located in the heart of the old village of les Baux de Provence this museum has a permanent collection of roughly 100 works by Yves Brayer (1907-1990). Born in Versailles on the outskirts of Paris, Brayer attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He is considered a “master of graphism and colour.” Brayer was attracted to the Mediterranean climate; living in Morocco, Spain and Provence, he painted many colourful landscapes.

Lynne Alderson

Aixcentric was set up by Lynne Alderson three years ago as a channel to send out info on events taking place around Aix as well as news, relevant books, the latest films, new shops and of course where to eat locally. Why?

According, to Lynne:

"It came about out of frustration with the lack of communication in the town. Posters would suddenly go up about an event that week. No prewarning. I had difficulty too in finding information from many of the tourist offices. Things are slowly getting better and there is sometimes information in English. Hopefully by keeping an eagle eye on the local press and talking with contacts in town, I can publicize fun things that people would otherwise miss. It's a ragbag of info that I come across on my travels. I've published nearly 600 posts now and have lots of followers so hopefully, it is fulfilling its role of helping people, residents and visitors alike, get the most of their time in Aix."
