Exhibition at MuMa, Le Havre, 22 April - 24 September 2023

A tireless traveller, Albert Marquet criss-crossed the Normandy coast from 1903 to 1937 during seven stays (Flamanville, Le Havre, Fécamp, Trouville, Honfleur, Rouen, Vieux-Port and Dieppe), where he was taken along by Henri Manguin, then Raoul Dufy, Henri Matisse, Paul Signac and Félix Vallotton. There he found a field of experimentation for his work on colour and motifs that he would continue to paint throughout his life well beyond Normandy.

This exhibition catalogue provides an insight into Marquet's originality through some 60 paintings and drawings from prestigious public and private collections, both French and foreign, brought together for the first time. In particular, "Le Bassin du Havre", recently purchased by the MuMa, is presented. The book also includes a catalogue raisonné of Marquet's works held at the MuMa.
