Lecture series, École des modernités (online/Paris, 25 Sep 24-18 Jun 25)

Online / Institut Giacometti, École des modernités, Paris, Sep 25, 2024–Jun 18, 2025

Dr. Hugo DANIEL

The lecture series of the École des modernités research programs at the Institut Giacometti, Paris contributes to the history of modern art by bringing together the great specialists of this period (1905‐1960).

Like Alberto Giacometti, many foreign artists passed through Paris, attracted by a context favorable to intellectual and artistic exchanges.

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.

Lectures in French (FR) or in English (EN)

Free upon reservation.
On site and live on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IW7NSZVUUc&list=PLj3ZNS8jD29oHis9Hb7Vv1OckDymEzFfM
