The Centre Pompidou proposes an unprecedented investigation of one of the founding movements of modern art : Cubism. Bringing together some 300 works by the most important of the Cubist artists, such as Picasso, Braque, Derain, Laurens, Delaunay, Léger, Picabia and Duchamp, the exhibition reveals the exchanges between the artists and their interlocutors in the intellectual and social world of the time.
Chronologically organised and intended to foster an understanding of the key concepts and the tools and procedures that underwrote the unity of the movement, the exhibition brings together for the first time the most decisively important works and most significant series, revealing the simultaneously experimental and collective character of this foundational venture.

The social and historical dimensions of the Cubist world are explored through exemplary works and documentary resources, immersing visitors in the nexus between Cubism and literature, poetry, music and various fields of thought. It examines the movement’s sensitivity to the modern and ponders on its relationship to corresponding scientific and technical discoveries.
This exhibition is produced in partnership with Kunstmuseum Basel.
