Exposition "Emile Dorrée : peintre de la Hague ?"

Emile Dorrée was one of the leading figures in painting in the Cotentin region during the first half of the 20th century. Nicknamed the “painter of La Hague” as early as the 1920s, his views of La Hague ensured the artist’s success both locally and nationally. But Emile Dorrée also painted other sites in the Manche department and Normandy, and in 1936 he even traveled to Morocco to paint its landscapes. The exhibition highlights two other aspects of Emile Dorrée’s career: as a heritage painter and decorator, notably through the display of a series of sixteen views of Normandy created at the École Jean Goubert in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin.
