The commune of Sizun has received a generous donation of artwork from the estate of Claude Le Ber, a beloved local artist who passed away in February 2025. The painting, one of Le Ber's works, was bequeathed to his hometown as a testament to his deep connection to the community where he was born.
The donated artwork is now prominently displayed in the main hall of the town hall, where residents and visitors can appreciate Le Ber's artistic legacy. This gesture reflects the artist's lifelong attachment to Sizun and his desire to leave a lasting cultural contribution to his native commune.
A special ceremony was held to commemorate the donation, attended by several notable figures from both the local government and Le Ber's personal circle. The gathering included Daniela Le Ber, the artist's widow, and Monique Simon, Claude Le Ber's sister, who were present to witness the formal presentation of the artwork.
Local officials in attendance included Catherine Le Roux, the mayor of Sizun, along with deputy mayors Nicole Crenn and Philippe Braem. The ceremony also welcomed Stéphane Nicol, a gallery owner and close friend of the late artist, highlighting the connections between Le Ber's professional artistic network and his hometown community.
The donation represents more than just an artistic gift; it symbolizes the enduring bond between artists and their communities. Le Ber's decision to bequeath one of his works to Sizun ensures that future generations will have the opportunity to experience his artistic vision and remember his contribution to the local cultural heritage.
