"Legras, verrerie artistique et populaire" Musée du Verre

Du 22 juin au 22 septembre 2013
Musée du Verre de Conches

Les verreries de Saint denis et de Pantin figurent parmi les plus importantes de la fin du XIXe et du début du XXe siècle. A côté d'une production de flacons à parfum, de carafes à sujets et de services de table, François-Théodore Legras (1839-1916) développa aussi son activité vers la création de verreries d'art, dont les décors émaillés et parfois gravés de fleurs, de feuilles et de paysages firent la réputation des établissements. A travers une sélection de deux cents oeuvres, d'archives et de documents iconographiques, le musée du verre de Conches présente les célèbres verreries artistiques et populaires Legras.

Landskapes and Water

François Décorchemont

Paysages et cours d’eau (Landscapes and Water)

The Local Conches Museum

1 June – 29 September 2013

Very well known for his works in pâte de verre as well as his stained glass windows that can be seen in many churches in our department of Eure, François Décorchement (1880-1971) is much less recognised for his paintings. This artist, however, throughout his entire life, painted landscapes, still lifes and portraits where, as in his glass work, you can notice his keen eye for light as well as colours. In the framework of the second Norman Impressionist Festival, the Local Conches Museum will present a selection of forty paintings of the Norman countryside and bodies of water in the Eure department.

Winners from the 2012 Biennail Show

House of the Arts (Maison des Arts)

Winners from the 2012 Biennial Show

The town of Conches and the House of the Arts are pleased to present this show with the eight winners of the 2012 Biennial Contest.

This is the third time the jury has awarded artists: in the 2008 edition of the Biennial, the Commissionaires decided to honour four painters and four sculptors amongst those who had been selected to show their work, and not just one artist, as in the past. This formula has now been tried and tested, and has confirmed its success, both from the point of view of the public, as well as that of the artists.
