Abbey of Montmajour
A place of inspiration for modern and contemporary art. Van Gogh (1853-1890) was particularly fascinated by the site, where he drew numerous drawings in 1888-89. Ascension", the work that Alain Kirili (born 1946) created for the choir of the abbey, pays tribute to his use of the color «in thickness».
