PARIS - BERLIN 1900-1933. Relations and Contrasts Between France and Germany. Catalog of the exhibition presented at the Centre Georges Pompidou, July 12–November 6, 1978. Paris, Georges Pompidou National Center for Art and Culture (MNAM, CCI, BPI, IRCAM), 1978. Large quarto, paperback, illustrated cover. An important catalog published on the occasion of one of the Centre Pompidou’s seminal exhibitions, dedicated to artistic, intellectual, and cultural exchanges between France and Germany from 1900 to 1933. The volume covers all disciplines—painting, architecture, photography, film, theater, music, literature, graphic design, and the decorative arts—to highlight the reciprocal influences between Paris and Berlin during the first three decades of the 20th century. Richly illustrated in both black-and-white and color, it brings together an exceptional collection of material on the European avant-garde movements: Expressionism, Cubism, New Objectivity, the Bauhaus, Dadaism, German cinema, modern photography, and industrial design. It remains today a standard reference for the study of Franco-German artistic relations prior to the rise of National Socialism. Condition: copy showing signs of wear on the cover (stains, scuffing, and slight wear on the spine and endpapers); interior is clean and complete.
