École de Paris global : Die Erfindung von Paris als Kunstzentrum in internationalen Ausstellungen zwischen 1921–1946

Abstract

It is a frequently told story that Paris was the world center of art at the beginning of the 20th century. This book asks what contribution exhibitions between 1921 and 1946 made to the development and dissemination of this narrative. It develops a transcultural perspective on the exhibitions in the cafés of the Montparnasse district of Paris and the international exhibitions of the "École de Paris".
