The lecture series of the École des modernités research programs contributes to the history of modern art by bringing together the great specialists of this period (1905-1960).

By studying a movement or a context, by revisiting the work and career of unknown or forgotten artists, each lecture of the École des modernités contributes to a rereading of the history of art of the modern period.
