The exhibition "On dirait le Sud" offers an in-depth exploration of artistic creation from the 19th and 20th centuries, showcasing a diverse array of artists inspired by the region's light and landscapes. Visitors can admire works by prominent painters such as Pierre Grivolas, Charles Vionnet, Claude Firmin, Clément Brun, and René Seyssaud.
The exhibition also highlights the contributions of Auguste Chabaud, Alfred Lesbros, Auguste Roure, Louis Montagné, Jean-Pierre Gras, François Omer, Paul Surtel, Georgette Dupouy, Jean Tognetti, Serge Fiorio, Jean-Claude Imbert, Marcel Dumont, Jean-Marie Fage, Gérard Delpuech, and Roland Ladwig.
Central to this rich collection are the pictorial dialogues that emerge around Eugène Martel (1869-1947), a distinctive painter who will be specially featured by the museum in 2026 and 2027. His works engage in a conversation with pieces, including previously unseen ones, by artists associated with the new school of Avignon or with Provence.


In summer and winter, a whiteness persists at the summit of Mont Ventoux. This giant is our Provençal Mount Fuji. At its feet, the countless water springs that emerge from here and there flow silently. Some are known: the Vaucluse fountain or the Groseau spring. Joël-Claude Meffre, poet and archaeologist, and Ji Dahai, painter-calligrapher, visited about twenty of them in one year. Ji Dahai, tracing in ink and brush in his notebooks, on the spot, each of these emergences. Joël-Claude Meffre, looking for the word that listens in the sources of his words. It was in Brantes, after the last visit, that the word resurgence became a key. Other inks by Ji Dahai take us to the Mediterranean and Haute Provence.
