Le Musée d'Art Moderne de Céret is a modern art museum in Céret, Pyrénées-Orientales, France, created by Pierre Brune and Frank Burty Haviland in 1950 with the personal support of their friends Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse who were involved in its creation.
From Cubism to the School of Paris, from Nouveau réalisme to Supports/Surfaces, the collections of the Museum shows the intense relationship between the city of Céret and some of the major artists of the twentieth century: Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Juan Gris, Chaim Soutine, Marc Chagall, Raoul Dufy, Auguste Herbin, Henri Matisse, Miró, Antoni Tàpies, Claude Viallat, and Toni Grand.
In January 1910, the Catalan sculptor Manolo Hugué, convinced the painter Frank Burty Haviland, and the composer Déodat de Séverac to settle in Céret, a small Catalonian village of the Pyrénées-Orientales near the border with Spain. They invite their friends from Montmartre to move in, and from 1911 to 1913, in the midst of Cubism. Pablo Picasso discovers Céret in the summer of 1911 and invites his model and lover Fernande Olivier and Georges Braque, also a friend of Manolo Hugué to join him. In 1913, 1914 and 1915 his new lover Eva Gouel will also stayed with Picasso and model for him in Céret.
