Exhibition Centre Pompidou

The Centre Pompidou has partnered with the LaM to present "Kandinsky face aux images," an exhibition examining how scientific illustrations, press photography, and pedagogical archives informed Vassily Kandinsky’s transition from figuration to abstraction. The show draws extensively from the Kandinsky Library’s collection of over 200 images used by the artist during his tenure at the Bauhaus starting in 1926. Key exhibits include the artist's personal iconotheque and works such as 'Entassement réglé' (1938) and 'Bleu de ciel' (1940), which reflect his late-career interest in biomorphic and microscopic forms.
