| Bagnols-sur-Cèze has a main square in rectangular shape, surrounded by arcaded houses (...) That Bagnols is an old town, it is a fact but it is not its places and its curiosities that I want to speak today. Let's go back to the Town Hall. There we sometimes meet the painter Albert André, the one who was the friend and the executor of Renoir, who is a member of the Salon d'Automne Committee and, moreover, a curatorial volunteer at the Musée de Bagnols. (...)
It is this group that came to rejuvenate Mr. Albert André requesting from all his colleagues and all his friends some works for the museum which he loves with tenderness. (....) And we can extend the list of these names: MM. Portal, Laprade, Luc-Albert Moreau, Luce, Valtat, Maufra, Urbain, J. Puy, Girieud, others will appear in the catalog the day it is established. (....) |
