520    This volume takes readers on a tour across south eastern 
       France on the Mediterranean coast from west to east, 
       stopping at villages, towns and sites which have featured 
       so prominently in this region's artistic history. From as 
       early as the fourteenth century, painting found a home 
       beneath the azure skies of Roman civilization, and 
       prestigious art schools grew up in the prosperous cities 
       of Nice, Aix, and Avignon. Though initially the landscapes
       of Provence were relegated to the background of 
       altarpieces, the early presence of artists in the area 
       prepared the terrain for a new flourishing of talent five 
       centuries later. Focusing on painters of the nineteenth 
       and early twentieth centuries, the author looks at works 
       by local artists, including Cezanne, a native of Aix-en-
       Provence, but also at the paintings of van Gogh, Picabia, 
       Picasso, Signac, Cross, Braque and Matisse. The region's 
       rich vegetation, mountains, shorelines and mesmerizing 
       light became the catalyst for an explosive expression of 
       talent: van Gogh painted furiously during and after his 
       stay in the asylum at Saint-Remy; the Fauves' "wildly" 
       colored paintings were inspired by the vibrant colors 
       along the coast; Bonnard's lush sense of color developed 
       in his contemplation of the views from his villa in Le 
       Cannet; in Arles, a ninety-year-old Picasso attended 
       bullfights and sketched daily. Over 130 paintings and 40 
       period photographs of the region illustrate the different 
       styles inspired by Provence, from realistic landscapes in 
       the classical tradition to Impressionist and Fauve 
       renditions. This work is completed by a guide to the 
       principal museums in the region and biographies of the 
       artists discussed.
