HARDY MUSEUM
Go there and contact
Hardy Museum located in Clécy, presenting a hundred paintings, engravings, and charcoals, with very well-worked pieces.
The Impressionist artist, André Hardy, is probably one of the least well-known Norman artists, even though he was born in Flers, Orne (24 km from here), in 1887 and died in Caen at the age of 99. Among his favourite themes are many landscapes of the Vikings’ vault, the Country of Auge, and the Norman Switzerland to which the artist pays a heartfelt tribute in works where colour is particularly worked. Around a hundred paintings, engravings, and fusains are exhibited in the museum. To delve deeper, the tourist office has developed a discovery circuit marked on the traces of the painter (allow about an hour). This is an opportunity to connect the paintings with the places represented. Enthusiasts can continue their pictorial journey through a visit to Domfront (Orne) at the Charles Léandre Museum, where André Hardy was a close friend.
