During the Auvers-sur-Mer season, conceived in 2013 by the municipality of Auvers-sur-Oise with all the city's cultural sites, two exhibitions invite you to sail aboard the Val d'Oise Océan. At the Maison du Docteur Gachet, Gyotaku, Imprints of the Sea interweaves art, history, and science thanks to an exceptional loan from the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco - Fondation Albert I, Prince of Monaco. In 1862, in the Land of the Rising Sun, a fisherman immortalized an enormous sea bream by coating it with ink and printing it on paper. That year, Japan participated in the London World's Fair, a "Japonerie" shop opened in Paris, and the young Impressionist guard discovered ukiyo-e prints... Since then, the Gyotaku has evolved, its artistic characteristics have asserted themselves, and its scientific dimension makes it a valuable tool for marine biology researchers today. Around thirty works by great Japanese masters illustrate the diversity and strange beauty of fish living in the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, the Indian Ocean and the Pacific. The work of naturalist painters and the first photographers of the Opal Coast is at the heart of the exhibition From the Sea to the Plate, presented at the Daubigny Museum in Auvers-sur-Oise thanks to loans granted by the Musée d'Opale-Sud in Berck-sur-Mer and the Quentovic Museum in Etaples-sur-Mer. Reinforced by postcards and seaside souvenirs from the factories of L'Isle-Adam, the evocation of the daily life of seafarers and tourists is complemented by paintings and drawings from public and private collections. Tableware, meanwhile, is illustrated by earthenware with marine or maritime decorations produced by the Creil factory and cutlery with mother-of-pearl handles made in the workshops of the Pays de Thelle.
