From Hyères to Nice via Grenoble and Antibes, summer will be blue or it won't be. Joan Miró is the guest of three major exhibitions which immerse us in the heart of a work where imagination and freedom of expression reign supreme.

Joan Miró and Pablo Picasso, it is above all a long story of friendship. Linked until the end of their lives, the two artists met in Paris in 1920, gauged each other, evaluated each other before finally hitting it off. The Picasso Museum in Antibes therefore does not welcome a stranger within its walls, but rather a friend who is at home here: twelve masterful works by the painter of the stars are revealed in a minimalist scenography which thwarts the usual exhibition ceremony. Each room only accommodates one canvas, sometimes two, thus offering us an intense moment of interpretation and contemplation. Lost in these fiery constellations, we just have to look from canvas to canvas as far as the Milky Way.
