Art Lovers Journey to Spain and the South of France!

Join KDFC listeners and Ellen Harden, long-time docent at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco for an art lover’s journey to discover the life and passions of the 20th century’s greatest artist, Pablo Picasso! Your arts adventure is set to commence in Barcelona, where the young Picasso began his own remarkable journey. Enjoy a privately guided tour of the Picasso museum, dine in Pablo’s favorite cafés and discover works by Gaudí, Miró and Dalí. Then we are off to the south of France, where you’ll walk in Picasso’s footsteps and stay in the charming seaside village of Collioure. The gorgeous light and scenery found in the South of France lured painters there, familiar names such as Signac, Matisse, Chagall, Dufy, Mackintosh and Picasso. Continuing our search we head deep into Provence and visit the very places where the artist painted and lived. Admire the works by the only painter Pablo considered his personal master: Paul Cézanne. Our journey culminates as we tip our hat to Marc Chagall and life-long competitor, Henri Matisse. Wine tastings, world class art, towering hill towns, Roman ruins and Provencal markets are all included as together we relive the life and recreate the world of the 20th century’s greatest artist, Pablo Picasso!

ABOUT THE CHELSEA GARDEN SHOW
The Chelsea Flower Show is the gardening Mecca of Europe, where some of the greatest exponents of the art, exhibit imaginative garden designs over an 11-acre site at the Royal Hospital in Chelsea. They create a wonderland for the public to explore, as the tranquil canvas of the hospital’s lawns comes alive with a riot of color and form. Since its inception in 1913, the show has been at the forefront of horticultural development. In 2002, the entire event was housed in the dramatic new-look Great Marquees – higher, lighter, brighter and better ventilated than ever before.

Dozens of model gardens have always formed the prime attraction, reflecting the Changing enthusiasms of designers, from the Japanese and topiary styles of the early days through to a major emphasis on rock gardens during the war years, to the paved backyards, cottage and wildflower gardens of the present day. The show continues a long tradition of pushing boundaries.
