Nice Biennial of Arts Museums Celebrate with Flowerworks

©Biennale des Arts de Nice
Artists Inspired by Provence · Guest Post · Inspire

Flowerworks that’s the theme for 10 museums and galleries across Nice from now until autumn and, in some cases, 2023.

The Musée Massena has ‘Nice Queen of Flowers’, which looks at how flowers have provided motifs for local architecture and the decorative arts. But, of course, the painters loved them, too – Dufy (currently on show in Aix’s Hotel Caumont) settled in Nice and in 1911 married a Niçois milliner whom he painted in a floral dress and followed up with the exuberant floral compositions you may have seen in Aix.
