Network Parisabstraction-cr茅ation1931鈥�1937
As a center of the avant-garde, Paris became a last refuge as nationalist movements spread to every part of Europe. Since there was virtually no market for abstract art, the members of Abstraction-Cr茅ation were forced to create their own organizational structures independent of the salons and galleries. This multigenerational, liberal, progressive, and visionary group set about uniting all the different strands of nonobjective art. The whole spectrum is on display in this exhibition, from rigid compositions and Purist grids to vibrant, organic-looking forms at play. And seven contemporary artists from around the world demonstrate that the topic is as timely as ever.
