While the bulk of Henri Rivière's engraved work focuses on Brittany, which he left permanently after the First World War, the artist stayed several times in the south of France in the 1920s and 1930s. He was particularly fond of towns in the Var region, such as Bormes-les-Mimosas, of which he created an intimate portrait of unparalleled precision.
Through his watercolors, he offers us an unusual vision of the region, not focusing on the picturesque coastline, unlike his Breton works. He prefers the hinterland, sometimes harsh but endearing. This book invites us to rediscover this little-known aspect of Rivière's work, crisscrossing the roads and paths of Provence.
