Today the mistral is blowing in the wonderful landscape full of light - and what can you do with this weight on your head. So we're in this situation of thousands of men - who hope - I'm here under an olive tree - nature is very beautiful. But I don't have the courage to write to you any longer.\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Andr\u00e9 Marchand befriended the composer Darius Milhaud, also from Aix, in Paris. In 1936, he designed sets and costumes for his ballet \"Suite Proven\u00e7ale\"; that same year, Darius Milhaud introduced him to Pierre Colle, who became his gallerist. In 1937, Marchand was awarded the Prix Paul Guillaume.<br \/>\nMobilised in 1939, Marchand narrowly escaped death, retreated for a time to Aix-en-Provence, then took part in the exhibition \"Vingt jeunes peintres de tradition fran\u00e7aise\" (Twenty young painters in the French tradition), a demonstration organised in Paris against the Nazi ideology of \"degenerate art\". In the post-war period, his first exhibitions met with great success, helping to establish him as one of the leading figures in \"southern\" painting.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two original drawings<br \/>\nA BEAUTIFUL autograph letter signed to Darius Milhaud<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":19629,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"boutique":[199,198],"cat_gallery":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[407],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-18380","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","theme-lettres","artistes-marchand_andre","boutique-galerie","boutique-librairie","product_cat-arts","first","instock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/librairie-le-pas-sage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/18380","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/librairie-le-pas-sage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/librairie-le-pas-sage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/librairie-le-pas-sage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18380"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/librairie-le-pas-sage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19629"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/librairie-le-pas-sage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"boutique","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/librairie-le-pas-sage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/boutique?post=18380"},{"taxonomy":"cat_gallery","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/librairie-le-pas-sage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cat_gallery?post=18380"},{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/librairie-le-pas-sage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=18380"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/librairie-le-pas-sage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=18380"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/librairie-le-pas-sage.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=18380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
