The exhibition In the Light of the Garden introduces the work of two Spanish masters in the context of the light and color emanating from their gardens—a vibrant source of inspiration in their final creative periods. Joaquín Sorolla (Spanish, b. 1863−1923) designed the garden at his home, now the Sorolla Museum in Madrid, between 1909 and 1911, conceiving of it as a reflection of his own creativity and a work of art in itself. Art and nature became one in this private place of inspiration and retreat. For Sorolla, as for the other artists of the time, the garden was part of the realm of the senses.

Almost half a century later, in 1964, Esteban
Vicente (American, born Spain, 1903 ̶ 2001) and his wife Harriet acquired a Dutch
colonial-style farmhouse in Bridgehampton, New York, on Long Island, where he
set up a studio for painting in an 18th-c. barn on the property and cultivated
a beautiful garden, an ever-changing field of color.
In the Light of the Garden is presented in
collaboration with the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Esteban Vicente in Segovia,
Ana Doldán de Cáceres, Director. The presentation at the Parrish Art Museum,
organized by Chief Curator Alicia Longwell, is supported by the Harriet and
Esteban Vicente Foundation.

De confidences en anecdotes inédites, Gérard Davoust et Erik Berchot nous font entrer dans l’intimité de Charles Aznavour, leur mentor, leur ami. Au fil des pages de ce livre écrit à quatre mains, nous découvrons les coulisses des concerts, les jeux d’échecs dans les loges, les blagues avant d’entrer en scène, les habitudes de Charles Aznavour après les spectacles, ses amusements et ses doutes, ses engagements pour des causes qui lui étaient chères.
Les auteurs nous racontent les mots choisis, les mélodies rêvées, les arrangements souhaités, les répétitions inachevées ou les réunions impromptues et joyeuses. Ils retracent les tournées dans le monde entier, les temps de repos, les bistrots préférés du chanteur, ses petits plaisirs, évoquant aussi sa philosophie de la vie et du temps qui passe.
