CARZOU FOUNDATION
Museum housed in the former Couvent de la Présentation, with a superb chapel decorated by painter Jean Carzou
In 1984, Manosque had the 19th century Convent of the Presentation restored with the intention of having a contemporary paint an Apocalypse according to Saint John. Jean Carzou's work began in 1985 and lasted 7 years, ending in June 1991, when the Carzou Foundation (created in 1988) opened it to the public. The artist has represented theApocalypse of our time: like the fear of the year 1000, he shows the fear of the year 2000 by representing the intense technological development, the dehumanization of the earth, the great trials..
