AN ANDRE HAMBOURG MUSEUM IN THE HEART OF Les Franciscaines
This museum is dedicated to the painter André Hambourg (1909-1999), most of whose paintings - 539 - were bequeathed to the City of Deauville by Nicole Hambourg, his wife. The marine painter, lithographer and draftsman developed a figurative art that found its source of inspiration on the Côte Fleurie. This donation is completed by a hundred works collected by André Hambourg or exchanged with other artists: Marie Laurencin, Foujita, Van Dongen, Derain...
The inaugural chrono-thematic tour presents a hundred works composed of paintings, drawings and photographs from the collection. Thanks to exceptional loans, artists from the end of the 19th and 20th centuries such as Boudin, Derain, Foujita, Marquet and Picasso join the museum's walls to contextualize André Hambourg's work in the history of 20th century French art.
The André Hambourg Museum has two rooms on two levels organized around a central staircase. The tour is punctuated by the projection of a biographical film as well as by three seats associated with multimedia terminals that allow visitors to deepen their knowledge of the work of André Hambourg.
Guided tours, workshops, school sessions, and family mediation programs provide a comprehensive look at the artistic and historical environment of the 20th century.
