This exhibition offers a moment of timeless serenity.
From 17th of February to 23rd of April 2018, the Musée des Beaux-arts (Museum of Fine Arts) in Lyon will pay tribute to this famous local painter.
Jacques Truphémus was born in Grenoble and later moved to Lyon, where he studied at the École des Beaux-arts (School of Fine Arts) and lived from the 1950s until the end of his life, at the age of 94.Truphémus’ painting is characterised by its softness, delicacy and the blending of light and colours, as well as great restraint, inspired by his travels to Japan.
Landscapes (in particular those of the Cévennes, where he spent his holidays, and of Lyon), still life painting, portraits and genre painting were his preferred themes, to which he brought the smoothness of his touches of colour.
Access to the museum and exhibition is free with the Lyon City Card.
Isabelle, our editor born and bred in Lyon! She was born in Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon in fact, studied in Lyon and now lives here. Territorial? Absolutely not! She loves travelling, widening her horizons, meeting new people and enjoys a change of scenery (without snow, if possible). Isabelle is curious and a people person, two attributes that often go hand in hand! Her favourite colour is green and her motto "a day without laughter is a day wasted!"
