This second half of the year, scenes of daily life in the village of Resvest-du-Bion, portraits and landscapes by Eugène Martel (1869–1947) will be displayed alongside works by 19th- and 20th-century artists with links to Avignon or Provence.

These are frames, physically present in the landscape, which dictate viewpoints and compositions to the artist, who emphasises his submission to these pre-existing frames by creating focus effects [through blurred edges]. The ViewFinder series is enriched as Éric Maillet travels, here in Provence. In the Luberon, the artist also gathers fragments of text from everyday life to create gaps between the written word and the landscape.
