Les Jardins d’Étretat is a creative experimental laboratory and an open-air museum of contemporary art, whose display consist ... s of permanent and temporary expositions. The permanent display is an ingenious and witty dialogue of sculpted topiary and contemporary sculpture that communicates striking individuality and unique atmosphere to the gardens. Artworks are an indispensable core of the garden, whose main message, artistic integrity, dramaturgy and general ambience would have been lost without these sculptural highlights. Traditionally, there are known five major types of the garden: regular French, landscape English, formal Italian, as well as Asian and Oriental gardens. Experientially, Alexandre Grivko, develops new unique, sixth, garden style which he envisions as the garden of the future. When the experiment is completed, the garden will feature as the example of a new garden style whose name is yet to be found. Les Jardins d’Étretat offer an iconic view over La Manche that once inspired artists, such as Claude Monet, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Eugène Delacroix and Edouard Manet. Currently, Les Jardins d’Étretat enjoy a growing group of supporters, patrons, collectors and promoters. read more
