Robert De Niro is due to be on Nice Promenade des Anglais this evening for a photo-call prior to his scheduled talk at the Cinematheque de Nice in the Acropolis, Nice. The actor is in town to give a master-class at the cinema that was established in 1974 in order to promote and present world cinema in France.
De Niro is also here to open an exhibition by his late father, artist Robert De Niro Snr.that is being staged at the Matisse Museum in Nice. The late artists work is being honoured with an exhibition in recognition of his inspiration drawn from Matisse. In particular his composition and painting techniques.
RobertDe Niro Snr., a representative of the New york School and student of bauhaus and abstract expressionism, turned his artistic attentions towards France during the 1960's after an extended stay here. He studied European art history and many famous French and Flemish painters before finding something of an affinity with the late great Henri Matisse, without losing his own style and translations.
The exhibition was opened on 8th March 2010 and will remain on show until May 31st, 2010 |
