Educational resource on modern art from the Centre Pompidou

As I was carrying out some research on a piece of modern art, I stumbled upon a site from the Centre Pompidou in Paris (home of the National Museum of Modern Art) with some interesting material on modern artists and modern art movements.




These educational art files have been put together to help art amateurs prepare for their visit. They contain reproductions of works by artists in the collection as well as some biographical and historical information. These files are worth reading and provide a good introduction to key modern artists.

Here is the list of 13 files available in English (they are also available in French):

• Henri Matisse



• Pablo Picasso



• Marcel Duchamp



• Christian Boltanski



• Surrealist art



• New realism



• Cubism



• Richard Rogers + Architects



• The Object in the 20th-Century Art



• Los angeles - 1955 - 1985, The birth of an art capital



• Robert Rauschenberg, Combines (1953-1964)



• Yves Klein. Body, colour, immaterial



• Vassily Kandinsky
