Alfred Lombard in Marseille – Striking Local Colourist
Artists Inspired by Provence · Guest Post · InspireWho is Alfred Lombard? I wondered as I visited the Musée Regards de Provence in Marseille this week.

He had a long life from 1884-1973, living through and absorbing waves of artistic development.
