Caumont Art Centre presents an exhibition of works from the collection of Oscar Ghez (1905-1998), a Tunisian-born industrialist and avid collector. Nearly 60 masterpieces from this collection, now housed at the Musée du Petit Palais in Geneva, founded by Oscar Ghez in 1968, will be arranged chronologically and thematically, tracing the development of French painting from the end of the 19th century to the avant-garde figures of the 20th century.
Started in the 1950s, Oscar Ghez’s collection stood out for its choices, which went against the spirit of the age. This visionary took an interest in artists who were not well regarded by the market at the time and went on to become great names in the history of art, such as Gustave Caillebotte, Frédéric Bazille, Marie Bracquemond and Maximilien Luce. A great lover of figures and portraits, he moved away from landscape painting, which was dominant in Impressionist collections of the period. He also gave pride of place to women artists, who are well represented in the exhibition.
Caumont, which dates from the eighteenth century, is one of the most beautiful private mansions in Aix-en-Provence. Located next to the Cours Mirabeau, the mansion has a paved three-sided courtyard and more than 1000 m² of private gardens. The mansion’s salons, with their refined decor, recreate the atmosphere and aesthetic sophistication that were typical of the eighteenth century. The mansion’s elegant decor is ideal for hosting cocktail and dinner parties, business breakfasts, product launches, and weddings.
