Plural Modernities offers a renewed and expanded vision of modern art. For the first time, the Centre Pompidou presents, based on the richness of its collections, a global history of art. Taking into account the different countries of the world, but also the plurality of artists and aesthetics, it immerses us in the heart of the exceptional diversity of artistic forms created from 1905 to 1970. The authors - curators and academics - who contributed to this work resituate the great impulses of the avant-gardes within the networks of exchange and emulation characteristic of this period of questioning and abundant inventions. They analyze the complex and dynamic relationships between universality and vernacular culture, purity and hybridity, which run through the entire adventure of modern art. Showing the intersections and confluences between the different arts, they also reveal the interaction of modern art with traditional practices and non-artistic expressions.
