Lectures of the École des Modernités research programs at the Institut Giacometti, Paris and online – in French (FR) or in English (EN).

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.

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).

Head of the program: Hugo Daniel
