Alexandre Hollan's exceptional donation to the Musée Fabre in 2017 complements two earlier donations from 2012 and 2015 and allows us to embrace his artistic career, from his beginnings in the 1950s to the present day. Throughout his life, the painter has constantly sought to express the profound connection between nature and man, tirelessly seeking the right distance between it and him: "Between the visible and the invisible, the known and the secret, the image appears." It was in the Languedoc scrubland, in Gignac near Montpellier, that the Hungarian artist settled, in the early 1980s, and established the framework of his open-air studio. Since then, every year in the summer, or among his trees, he goes out into the field, thus subscribing to a long aesthetic lineage which, since Poussin, has painted an eternal poetry inhabiting men and trees. This book invites you to discover for the first time the entirety of the works donated by Alexandre Hollan to the Fabre Museum, revealing, through the motifs of his still lives, a form of spirituality in art.
