Product details
- From its birth in 1929 to its dissolution in 1958, the Union of Modern Artists (UAM) brings together a large number of members driven by the desire to "create without looking back" to meet the needs of the beautiful and useful for all. Among them, major figures such as Sonia and Robert Delaunay, Fernand Léger, Pierre Chareau, Robert Mallet-Stevens, Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand, Jean Prouvé or Cassandre and many other architects, decorators, furniture designers, painters, sculptors, goldsmiths, bookbinders, graphic designers and poster designers. All share the ideal of a synthesis of the arts capable of responding to the political and social issues of their time, the challenges of a necessary industrialisation and the production of mass housing to imagine new ways of inhabiting and living
- It is the history of this movement and, beyond, of French modernity and its origins, that the Centre Pompidou exhibition seeks to retrace
