Dessins sans limite Chefs-d'œuvre de la collection du Centre Pompidou | Exhibition catalogue

Description

Throughout the 20th century, drawing has freed itself from conventions and its status as preparatory work to become a work of art in its own right. Fundamental to the evolution of contemporary artistic practices, it is deployed across multiple media, from the snapshot of gesture to performance and cartoon, bearing witness to both great history and the intimate. Through its breadth and diversity, the Centre Pompidou's graphic art collection reflects these changes. A sensitive exploration of drawing in all its forms, the journey proposed in this book, which covers the period from 1900 to the present day, offers a renewed reading of an art that has reinvented itself and established itself as a laboratory of possibilities.
