Co-edited by Kaph Books x Louvre Abu Dhabi x Centre Pompidou. Discover the Paris of the 'Roaring Twenties' - a bohemian hub for artists from across Europe, many of whom left their home countries in search of a place where they could truly express themselves. Inspired by the uniquely liberal political and cultural climate in the city, this group of artists came together at a moment of extraordinary creativity to produce some of the most innovative art of the 20th century.

Picasso, Chagall, Modigliani & Co. (1900-1939)

Rendezvous in Paris

Yves Chevrefils Desbiolles

Featuring a broad selection of paintings, sculptures and photographs coming mainly from the Centre Pompidou collections, Louvre Abu Dhabi’s exhibition catalogue “Rendezvous in Paris: Picasso, Chagall, Modigliani & Co.” focuses on this highly distinctive period in French art when young painters, sculptors and photographers flocked to early-20th-century Paris from all over the world to make a decisive contribution to the city’s art scene. Most notably from Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Russia and even Japan, these formally inventive artists – Constantin Brancusi, Marc Chagall, Kees van Dongen, Tsuguharu Foujita, Amedeo Modigliani and Pablo Picasso among them – who would later become known as the “School of Paris”, rivalled the greatest French artists of the time.
