PAVLINA visionary art
February 26: PAVLINA, 30 YEARS OF VISIONARY ART
by Christophe Flubacher, art historian
SOLD OUT:
NO SPACE LEFT
Born in vevey, settled in Corseaux, the painters Italo and Vincent De Grandi are inseparable. They share the same vision of the world and of painting, while expressing it in a distinct way.
Born in Zurich, Wilhelm Gimmi moved to Paris in 1908. In 1940, he is forced to return to Switzerland: he chooses Chexbres, where he will paint until the end of his life. His works are kept in many museums in Switzerland and abroad.
In preparation
International style villas on the Vaud Riviera
Plans, drawings, photos and models of numerous projects show the major importance of the Lake Geneva region in the development of modern architectural and aesthetic sensibility.
From Le Corbusier in 1923 (Villa le Lac) to Alberto Sartoris in 1939 (Maison-Atelier De Grandi), including the pioneering architects Henri Robert Von Der Mühl, Dubois & Favarger, René Bonnard, Jack Cornaz, Alexandre Ferenczy and Hermann Henselmann.
Paintings by the De Grandi brothers illustrate the pictorial context of this period and their more Italian than national inspiration.
Rediscovery of Casimir Reymond's paintings, eclipsed by his monumental sculptures, as well as his constant search for drawing, since his early childhood, as a support for his painting as well as for his small-format sculpture, in search of a real presence essential to his art.
By public transport from Vevey station.
By car from the motorway
The Villa Le Lac, Chaplin's world and the Jenisch Museum are nearby.
Built in 1939 by the architect Alberto Sartoris for the painter Italo De Grandi and his family.
Open to the public as a museum in 2017
In the house-workshop, a class 2 (regional importance) historical monument, the museum highlights Swiss artists who, like the painters Italo and Vincent De Grandi, are no longer or rarely exhibited.
Lectures and concerts enrich the cultural context of these exhibitions.
Founders of the museum, Pierre and François, sons of Italo De Grandi, created in 2016 the Association of the Friends of L'Atelier De Grandi, a non-profit, tax-exempt institution of public interest. Its committee is voluntary.
Its members contribute to the perpetuation of the museum's built (the house-workshop) and artistic (exhibitions, conferences and concerts) heritage, as well as to that of its website. They benefit from reduced rates and other advantages.
Since its opening in 2017, the exhibitions presented at L'Atelier De Grandi have been made possible mainly thanks to the support of public and private institutions, to which we are deeply grateful.
The companies that support us, in the form of project or long-term sponsorship, are mentioned on all the museum's visuals and publications and benefit from preferential rates.
Many of you have paid your annual subscription for 2021: it is thanks to your contributions that we can continue to offer you
We are ready! COVID-19 is playing tricks on us again... The latest one involves the obligation for each visitor (except children) to present their certificate
Welcome to L'Atelier De Grandi! The website is finally accessible: discover the current exhibition, the collections, the upcoming events and support the museum!
