Saint-Tropez is a town on the French
Riviera, 100 kilometres (62 miles) west of Nice in the Var department of the
Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of southeastern France.
Saint-Tropez was a military stronghold and fishing village
until the beginning of the 20th century. It was the first town on this coast to
be liberated during World War II as part of Operation Dragoon. After the war,
it became an internationally known seaside resort, renowned principally because
of the influx of artists of the French New Wave in cinema and the Yé-yé
movement in music. It later became a resort for the European and American jet
set and tourists. More on Saint-Tropez
Paul Augustin Aizpiri (14 May
1919 – 22 January 2016) was a French artist. Aizpiris art is largely influenced
by expressionist and Cubist elements. The motives have often been vases and
clown portraits , but he also has taken motifs from the more typical French,
among other Mediterranean cities. His artwork is often characterized by a
distinctive use of color, which makes his pictures easily recognizable. Aïzpiri
is particularly highly valued in Japan, where he has his own museum. More on Paul Augustin Aizpiri
