elles @ centrepompidou: women artists in the collections of the National Modern Art Museum

On our first day in Paris we visited one of the most amazing museums and centres of art in Europe: centre Pompidou.

If someone wants to have a taste of the most important artists of the 20th century this is the place that has to go!!!! Apart  the collections of the centre from, the building itself, is in my opinion, a work of art also. Although that it was built back in 1977, still is so modern, and one of a kind.

These days   Beaubourg (as it is also known, and means disambiguation had a thematic exhibition which was named elles and was devoted to the women artists from the 20th century to the present day.

Paintings, sculptures, photography, video art, and other installations all created by women......Really I was amazed, speechless, and yes jealous........

After we saw this exhibition we moved to another thematic exhibition about Mondrian and the De Stijl movement, but sorry there are no photos, as we were prohibited to take some.....:(

In the end we had the chance to see the permanent modern art exhibition of the museum.

 Work from Picasso, Braque, Matisse, Kandinsky, Cezanne to mention a few, managed to leave us once again  speechless.....

Till the next post with more photos of Paris, (especially with some extraordinary costumes from the fashion exhibition @ the musee of arts and decoratifs ...) à tout à l'heure!!!!!!!!
