A stretch of coastline, Canet-Collioure-Banyuls, like a concentrated space. A date, 1940, like a precipitate of history. Many artists landed on the shores of the Catalan coast and intertwined their destinies along its paths. Whether they were in hiding, hoping for exile, experiencing camps, campaigning, resisting, or collaborating... all through their art bear witness to an era that tolerated no shortcuts.
A border area, a free zone then occupied, an open door to a possible departure or a closed place of confinement, this coast, from Canet to Banyuls, becomes a territory in struggle. Since the catalog of the exhibition "Collioure, Babel of the Arts", the Collioure Museum continues its exploration of the little-known aspects of the artistic history of the Côte Vermeille. With this new publication, the museum delves into the troubled waters of a dark year that transformed this seafront into a veritable war front.
