Combas
L'admirateur de fleurs
From July 4 to November 2, 2008, the Van Gogh Foundation in Arles presents a new exhibition devoted to Robert Combas. In it, more than fifty, never before viewed works see the light: paintings, sculptures, ceramics specially created for this occasion and presented for the first time. The exhibition is crowned by the sumptuous self-portrait that Combas created in 1988 in homage to his predecessor. The entirety is grouped in 5 exhibition rooms

Created in 1983, the Foundation has as its mission achieving the desire often expressed by Vincent van Gogh in his letters to his brother Theo to create in Arles a "House of Artists" that would provide for continuous cultural activity.

The association with Van Gogh is regularly present and is essential in maintaining and guaranteeing an indispensable continuity. This main thread permits us to bring to light the connection between the great painter and contemporary artists having an affinity with or a significant approach to Vincent van Gogh.

Each summer, an exhibition is devoted to a new artist, part of whose works can be situated in the tradition of this artistic forefather. Thanks to the dynamism of their numerous actions, the Foundation contributes to the international cultural influence of Arles, linked to the memory of an exceptional artist.
