Discover the Beaujolais near the Roannais !

  

The Roannais may not be the most well known wine growing area around the world, but our neighboring department certainly is.

 

 Beaujolais

 

The Beaujolais is just 30 minutes drive from Roanne, in fact pre-19th century the Roannais was part of the Beaujolais region. 

.

Here we recently had the opportunity to visit a small, family producer of wonderful red and white wines.

Roger Dumas cultivates a mere 5 hectares of vines and follows generations of his family in growing traditionally and esthetically.

Special 3-month exhibition of the amazing  contemporary art of Claude Viallat starting this month at the Bernard Ceysson Gallery in Saint Etienne.

  

CLAUDE VIALLAT - PEINTURES ET OBJETS
September 29, 2011 - January 07, 2012

  

Claude Viallat (born 1936) is a French contemporary painter.

  

Born in N�mes, he grew up in Aubais, a French village with a strong bull tradition. In 1955, he joined the �cole des Beaux-Arts (Fine Arts School) in Montpellier, where he met Andr�-Pierre Arnal, Vincent Bioul�s, Daniel Dezeuze, Toni Grand, Fran�ois Rouan, and Henriette Pous, whom he married in 1962.

  

After doing his military service in Algeria from 1958 to 1961, he joined the �cole Nationale Sup�rieure des Beaux-Arts (the National Fine Arts School) of Paris, where he met fellow students Jo�l Kermarrec, Pierre Buraglio, and Michel Parmentier. He discovered American art in Paris, notably the works of Kenneth Noland, Morris Louis, Sam Francis, and Mark Rothko. As soon as 1963, he was attracted to abstraction. He was appointed as a teacher in the �cole des Arts D�coratifs (Decorative Arts School) of Nice in 1964 and decided to create a new formal language questioning the conventions of classical painting. He then started working systematically with one shape affixed on canvas without stretchers. His first personal exhibition took place at Nice's Galerie A in 1966. He also participated in several collective exhibitions that year...
