Art Foundation

A unique site dedicated to Art !
The Marguerite and Aimé Maeght Foundation is a unique example of a private Europeen Foundation. Inaugurated on July 28° 1964, this architectural ensemble was entirely conceived and financed by M. and A. Maeght to present modern and contempory art in all its forms. Sculptures, paintings, designs on the natural provence site ...
Pierre Bonnard garden and his light colors on the foundation wall of the big room ...
Painters and sculptors collaborated closely in the realization of this Foundation, with Catalan architect Lluis Sert by creating frequently monumental works integrated into the building and gardens : the Giacometti courtyard, the Miro labyrinth filled with sculptures and ceramics ...
mural mosaics by Chagall and Tal-Coat, a pool and stained glass window by Braque, a Bury fountain ... and the Chagall vitrail !
