From the early years of the 20th century to the post-war period, Collioure continued to attract artists from all over Europe.
From a haven of peace to a refuge from war, Collioure becomes the backdrop for the journeys of men and women who come to paint light in a Europe whose skies are darkening.
Whether attracted by its mild climate, its unspoiled landscapes, or its exceptional light, many have found themselves there, recreating "artist colonies" based on their origins, linked by national solidarity. They rub shoulders, frequent the same places, paint the same sites, and all share the same love for the small port and its beauty.
The starting point of a broader research, this book aims to draw up a map of these artists from elsewhere who made Collioure a veritable Babel of the arts.
