The Massena Museum speaks about the personnality and also the eclectic Jean Ferrero way of making (photographer, collector, art dealer) because he is one of the potent witnesses of the artistic creativity on the French Riviera during these last five decades. He comes from a background where art isn't important. His father an Italian settler does different jobs and his mother was maid. During the WWII he improves the do it yourself and becomes to collect puppets, old plates, old cameras and Walt Disney characters because he feels a huge curiosity about everything. Jean Ferrero leaves school to soon but learns by reading books, comics and news magazines until satiety. He also practises sport like boxing and sport will help him owning money. Jean Ferrero will do many pictures representing nude an sell them all over the world. With the money from these sellings he will buy sport cars, houses and also canvas. Following this way Jean Ferrero opens his first picture studio inside an appartement he rents and do pictures for papers like "La Stampa" or "Nice Matin". This studio will become quickly a meeting place for famous artists like Chagall or Miro but also for biginners who will be famous like César, Arman, Fahri, Gilli and Venet. At the beginning of the 1970's Jean Ferrero starts a new career as art dealer. He follows the exemple of the American show rooms and transform the appartment he rents at the 4th flloor of a building near the church of the Nice harbor as art gallery. There Jean Ferrero develops his own technical by using his instinct in buying nice and colorful canvas.
